I had a tour this week of College of Charleston. It was my second tour there, but it did the trick. I am definitely going to be attending in the Fall! Last spring I fell in love with the campus and atmosphere, this spring I just realized how absolutely perfect it is there!

| Randolph Hall |
This is a picture of Randolph Hall. I can't wait to graduate in front of it in May of 2016! One of the things I love the most about College of Charleston is the history and tradition behind it. A lovely tradition has to do with graduation. Usual graduation attire of caps and gowns are abandoned for white sundresses and six long stem roses for the ladies, and white dinner jackets with a rose buttioner for the gents. Which is wonderful for Charleston weather that is very hot and humid in early May. Those graduating in December, still flow the same idea with black dresses and jackets, though they have their graduation indoors.

| Arch over Porter's Lodge. "Know Thyself". |
Another of my favorite things at College of Charleston is the inscription over Porter's Lodge. Written in Greek it says "Know Thyself". College of Charleston is all about learning who you are. Their goal is that between the day you gather in the Cistern Yard to sign your name in ledger where every student since the beginning has signed their name, and the day that you walk across the cistern to recieve your diploma.
I can't wait to start here in the Fall! It's an amazing school, with beautiful history, wonderful traditions and strong academics. Now if only I could decide what I'd like to major in!
