    Over the weekend, I volunteered on campus to raise food for the Open Door Mission, a non-profit in Rochester that provides food, clothing, and shelter to the homeless. The group I volunteered with raised over 200 pounds of food for those in need.

    How do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?

    I took a walk about campus today to go see squirrels. I love squirrels and didn't see them around very much where I grew up. I was able to get very up close and personal with a squirrel outside of Gosnell. He sat there for like 5 minutes eating a nut, and it was a very pleasant experience for me.
