RIT.


























After Margaretville, we went to RIT to drop Patrick off at college. Since he is a freshman we went to orientation and helped him settle in to college.  It was fun experience! We helped him move into his dorm a day earlier so we beat the crowds of incoming freshman, which was a relief.  On the day of orientation, we had a continental breakfast which was given to all freshman's parents and family members. It was nice walking around the college and seeing all of the balloons. The college's colors are brown and orange so all of the balloons were either brown, orange, or white. I especially love the tiger balloons! 

My brother is studying computer science so we met the dean of the Computer Science College and sat in a few q&a's. One of the awesome things that the college did was a Tiger Walk. The Tiger Walk is literally a parade for all of the incoming freshman. Before we dropped my brother off at college, I told myself I wouldn't start crying. But when, the parade started I started crying. It was definitely a emotional experience for everyone. 

In the end, I do miss him but I am ever so happy that he is in RIT (talk about a good school!) He is studying a great major and is already making plenty of friends!
