Hi! I’m Frisky, but you can call me Frif. I’m so excited to be back on campus!
Granted, I’ve only been here for a semester, but I can’t wait to see what Elizabethtown College has in store for the spring!
Right now I live in Schlosser with my mom, Sam. My actual mom was put into her foster care before I was born, and both helped to raise me. Sam was one of the first people I met, and we’ve been inseparable for the past nine and half years. If I couldn’t come with her to Etown, I think I would have found a way to get to her anyway.
Coming to Etown was a bit of an adjustment, but I caught on to the swing of things.
To be honest, I prefer Etown to home and dread the long car ride before a break. Everyone here is so friendly and kind, you can’t not like it here. I made a bunch of new friends, and I can’t stand to be away from them, even for a weekend.
You can usually find me doing one of two things: eating or sleeping. You would think that I’m turning into a college student.
Well, to be fair, there isn’t much to do without my mom around. Plus, I firmly believe that these activities are the greatest. I totally recommend them if anyone needs to destress after a long day.
I love curling up in a tight ball on my mom’s bed when she’s in class and waking up to find her unpacking her schoolwork—better yet, waking up to find her making me dinner and feasting alongside her.
Either way, I like being able to talk to my mom about my day and listen to her talk about hers. I feel like we could talk for hours about anything if we could, but I usually feel a nap coming.
Apparently, she’s doing great with her art classes and biology classes. The classes are a little harder than last semester, but I know my mom is going to do great.
She’s also involved with It’s On Us, and she tutors in the Learning Zone. Getting involved on campus shows how well college life suits her. I wonder if I could tag along to her meetings just to meet a few new friends. And of course, to spend time with my mom.
When my mom is in her dorm, I spend as much time as possible with her.
Unless, of course, I’m taking a nap. I often lay beside or on top of her when she’s doing work, though she just moves me to the side so she can focus.
Though I wish she spent the time petting me, I know she has to do her homework. I think just enjoying each other’s company is soothing in itself. I just wish there were more hours in the day to spend together.
Overall, I hope this semester doesn’t fly too fast, otherwise I’d miss it before I got to take a nap.
