Of altering your sense of self, and of altering how others perceive you. How did you view your life, your relationships, the lifestyles of your peers, on your first day at K-State? How did those views develop over time? More than likely, college affected your opinions of your environment, of your life. Our lives, though marked by change, were not defined by it. Life wasn ' t about construction on Dennison Avenue that tied up traffic on football game days or Big Red One returning to Fort Riley and the subsequent rise in housing costs and fewer housing options. It wasn ' t about the new bioterrorism building that would put K-State among the top research institutions in the country or about the new football and basketball coaches and the following changes to the programs. It wasn ' t about Best Buy and Starbucks either HWSSBI Life was about the students ' state of being and how the changes affected us. We were used to change; it was inevitable and expected. Change was everywhere, but it wasn ' t a shock. We ' d come to anticipate change, and we learned to live our lives accordingly.
