SOUTHERN CHARMED As A CHILD, RaCHAEL GaRRETT DREAMED OF BEING SURROUNDED BY THE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY THAT IS OlE MiSS ichael Garrett ' s dreams seem to be written in the stars movie stars, tMt is. At the age of five, she decided she wanted to be a lawyer, like Angie prmon ' s character on Law and Order. At age 10, she decided she wanted to g o to Ole Miss to get that dream off the ground (Sandra Bullock ' s character in A Time to Kill played a role in that decision). And she has always known that she wanted to live in the South (thanks to Scarlett O ' Hara and Gone With the Wind ). This past fall, Garrett, a freshman political science major from Pitman, N.J., achieved at least some of those goals by enrolling at Ole Miss. I love Ole Miss, Garrett said. It feek great to achieve a life-long goal, and I couldn ' t imagine a better place to do it. For Garrett, living in Oxford has proven to be a significantly different It feels great to achieve a life K)ng goal, and I couldn ' t imagine a better place to do it, Garrett said. experience from living in her hometown. Many of those differences can be attributed to regional distinctions. After all, the Northeast and the Southeast are inherendy unlike each other. However, many of the differences can be chalked up to the natures of the towns themselves. Pitman, located in southern New Jersey, covers an area of approximately one-square-mile and has a population of about 1 0,000. (Pitman) is a great place to grow up, but you ' d only find it if you took the wrong exit for the nearby college campus, Garrett said. Created in the 1800s as a vacation spot for Protestant church-goers, the town lacks any sign of an active night life, or even fast food restaurants for that matter. The closest ones are about 10 minutes away in the next town over, Garrett explained. Oxford has more to do in it. Despite the fact that Garrett ' s dream school has always been Ole Miss, she did apply to a number of other schools, including Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and the College of Charieston in South Carolina, before making her final decision. Being accepted to all the schools she applied to made Garrett ' s decision a littie tougher, as she wanted to keep her options open. Her visit to Ole Miss became the deciding factor as to where she would spend the next few years of her life. The second I drove through the gates on University Avenue, I knew exacdy where I was going, and all the stress over whether I was making the right decision or not was gone. irnllni h BRANDI THOMAS Personalities | 161
