We spent the evening on a picnic blanket, watching a sunset and having a long conversation. Although we didn't work out, I'll never forget that feeling of being young, excited, and happy. That's one of the many reasons why Cherokee will always be special to me.
My university's master plan was done by the Olmsted Bros., and one of the reasons I love my campus so much is because it's so park-like. There are hundreds of trees, and what's interesting is the variety: it is as if we have our own arboretum on campus.
