As i walked out of Sparks building at 8:50 AM after my morning Psychology class, I ventured across the street to a set of stairs with three arched openings lying just ahead of them. The Gothic looking architecture captured my attention right away. As i walked through the center arch, I saw an assortment of trees, bushes, and flowers. They lit up the entire area, especially the flowering bush in the middle of a little plaza which was placed right in front of where I was standing. There were beautiful buildings surrounding me, the one in front of me containing the same three arches as the one I had just walked through. To my far left was a building with five elegant columns in the entrance. The rich smell of fresh grass and the sound of birds chirping in the distance complemented everything my eyes were taking in and created a scene of tranquility in my mind. The arches, columned buildings, and the calmness reminded me of Princeton University, the university in the town I live in, which also attracted me to this place. I felt I had discovered an oasis in a place that was so new to me. I had found a place that reminded me of home. I followed the paved walkway into the Waring commons and had the best breakfast I've had at Penn State since I've been here! I can't wait to go back.
