Well, college orientation is in the books. My head is swimming with information after the past two days! I have to say, orientation is a lot different with boys than with girls. Eric just takes it all in stride. Doesn’t get worked up. Doesn’t stress. Which is nice. He seems to be excited for this next step in his life. He loves to learn and I think he’s going to really thrive in the college environment. I’m hoping he will jump in and get involved and enjoy all aspects of college life during his time here. It’s exciting to see all these young adults so excited to start on this new journey!

For years Eric said he was going to Iowa State. All his clothes are red and gold. Grandma made him an Iowa State quilt. His bedroom is done up in Iowa State. Then, this past year he changed his mind and was going to UNI. Then, at the last minute he decided on Iowa. He applied and was accepted at all three but decided Iowa offered everything he wanted. I know he made the right decision but it’s still a little strange to think of him as an Iowa Hawkeye!
