Panther Paradise

A little under an hour from my school is a waterfall. Everyone enjoys going there to lay out, appreciate the natural beauty, and of course, swim on the weekends. My friends and I swung a ride with the Christian club at school to go have some fun pray. 

The hype was definitely accurate. Not only was the scenery breathtaking, but the mellow vibe of a waterfall smack-dab in the middle of the forest didn't detract from the experience either. While some were throwing their bodies off of mini-cliffs and slip-n-sliding down rock embankments, I sat, absorbed the heat of the sun, and just took a moment to appreciate the natural beauty of the setting and the enjoyment of being with my new friends. 

Yeah, guys, Virginia is totally hideous...

Today was one of those days that you don't forget. 

Note: college is a time for new experiences, people, and coming into the person that you are destined to be. Take advantage of these opportunities - well, of every opportunity. You may never be in the position to do it again. You won't regret stepping outside that narrow box of yours. Guaranteed.
