Once an Eagle

When I was in DC, I of course had to make a stop at AU. It'd been 5 years since I was on campus and I was long overdue for a trip to my alma mater.

The second I stepped through the Mass Ave gate I was going down memory lane and a bit giddy while doing it. Campus was super quiet since it was a Sunday in the summer, but there were various summer leadership things happening for teens. 

 AU isn't a very big campus (although what was once a huge parking lot is nearly a completed dorm and building complex). I just walked my favorite pathways and went down memory lane. 

Some buildings are super different, amazing what's changed in 5 years. The McKinley Building was the biggest change (aside from the whole new dorm next to my former residence). They added this modern expansion on the back. It was the discussion at the wedding "do you like it" - not sure yet!

As I first got onto campus and was heading towards my old dorm, an AU ambassador was directing people on campus for the summer programs to buildings and asked "can I help you find your program" - flattering that he thought I was a high schooler?!

I stood across from the Hurst Building, which is where the science labs are and where I had my bio classes freshman year. I realized, I came into AU an intended Bio major with plans to do physical therapy. But, left AU with a psychology degree and now hold 2 education degrees! 

It was so great to be back. It was an amazing 4 years there. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle!

I also realized the incoming freshman class were 8 when I started college. INSANE!
