I was asking my roommate, \u201cHow do you even start a letter?\u201d The only letters I\u2019ve ever written to my knowledge that I can remember would be thank you notes 2 months ago for graduation gifts. I have no idea how many thank you notes I wrote, but it was a good many and all I could think of then was it only gets worse, there\u2019s going to be a lot more when it comes time for me to get married. My hand was aching after all those thank you notes. But when I actually started writing this letter it wasn\u2019t bad at all. I wrote to my God-father who lives in Alpharetta and I don\u2019t really see him on a regular basis. I just started rambling about my college experience and what all I\u2019m becoming involved with and I just thanked him for everything he\u2019s done for me. And that I absolutely love it here in Athens! It was so much easier for me write down what all is going on with me in Athens than telling someone. You can write so much more and it helps you remember everything by writing it down. Writing that letter was a little bit strange because I\u2019ve never written a letter before. It\u2019s so much easier to just pick up a phone and ask somebody how their day was. But honestly I think it is so much more meaningful to a person if you write them a handwritten letter rather than, shooting them a text or email. I think it shows that you actually care and that you actually mean what you are saying. I enjoyed getting this opportunity to write a handwritten letter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going into this assignment, I was thinking this is going to be very difficult.
