Spring semester for me is not that exciting compared to fall semester since it’s my second semester in Rhodes. Fall semester for me is completely a new start, which means everything is new here: new country, new friends and new school life. however, that doesn’t necessarily mean spring semester is boring for me. so far, I enjoyed my spring semester so much. I think mostly because i have made a lot of friends here and have already gone through the cultural shock thing. To be honest, life in US is much easier and enjoyable now compared to the moment I first got in Rhodes.
The first fun thing came to my mind at the beginning of the spring semester is the annal rave party. the party is unique compared to other parties since everyone dressed up in different creative ways. however, for me the more impressing thing is how a small fraternity house contains so many people. it is so crazy that all the people ran into a small party house and no one could move there. I was even trapped by some drunk guy on the floor.
the next fun thing came to my mind is the valentine’s night. I went to the free movie with my friends. we watched the ” he is just not that into you” movie. In fact, I just watched this movie two days before the valentine’s day, but I still enjoyed watching it a second time.
the last thing came to my mind is Chinese food. I finally tasted some real Chinese food ( not Americanized Chinse food) last Friday in Tasty Buffet. When I saw the familier Chinese home cooking in Tasty Buffet, I was pretty excited ! I really get a little tired after tasting American food everyday.
This is how my spring semester so far, I will keep up with life and tell you what happened in my spring semester later.



Hey Li,
Im an international student and i just got accepted at rhodes. My question to you is that, I know college life in USA is really tough, so can you tell me your daily schedule, like what do you do all day e.g When do you wake up, what time is your first class etc etc….
it’s really hard to say since everyone’s schedule is completely different. for me, I think although the college academic life is tough, there’s still a lot of fun in American college.
hi,Li:
I am wondering if we can cook chinese food occasionally while studying at Rhodes…
Just kidding..
By the way, the party must be boisterous!
