Happy one week anniversary to my new apartment! It’s kind of bizarre to think about how literally a week ago I was packing up all my personal belongings & getting ready for my first week at my big girl job. And I haven’t written in a while because, well, my life has been a little hectic these past seven days. (Let’s just say we didn’t have a working refrigerator until yesterday & I had to sit outside of a closed Starbucks to steal wifi to get online help to set up OUR wifi.)
In my high school yearbook, my dad wrote me a note in the parents well-wishes section. Before he signed it, he closed with a Latin phrase: Veritas, Unitas, Caritas. Of course, I didn’t know what it meant so my best friend Emily googled it. It turns out it was the core values of Villanova, and they were simple: Truth, Unity, & Love. I appreciated my dad’s sentiment but thought nothing more of it.
Everyone thinks that their college is the best. Maybe I’m the same way and that’s why I love Nova so much.
…Or maybe everyone else is wrong and Villanova is just the best. (I think it’s the latter).
