Hello everyone. My name is David Lee, and I'm a sophomore, majoring in biological studies. I am currently taking a class on Asian American literature, which I LOVE, and am figuring out what I want to actually do with my life.
So today, we did a lot of things. We went to the Blount County jail to sit in on some hearings on domestic violence and hiked around the Ijams. It was all very interesting and a lot of fun, but we capped off the day welcoming the alternative spring break students from the University of Tennessee. I wore my UT shirt and let my Vol spirit fly.
Everyone from the UT was so friendly. Southern hospitality is a real thing. Conversation was never awkward and everyone was extremely nice. We talked about everything that groups of college students talk about when meeting for the first time. What your major? What do you do in school? What's there to do in town? One little tidbit I'd like to share is football. Everything you've heard about Tennessee football is probably an understatement. Tailgates start at 10 am. 150,000 people crammed into the campus. When touchdowns are scored, EVERYONE knows. When Saturday rolls around, Neyland Stadium is the fifth biggest city in Tennessee. I was sitting there amazed at them rolling these statistics at me.
While I don't know if I could ever go to a huge football school like the UT, some of the things I heard tonight make it sound really appealing.
