UNIVEhSITY OF RHODE ISLAND ADMISSIONS OFFICE Please describe briefly what going to the University of Rhode Island means to you. Going to URI means alot to me. It means studying in the career I ' m interested in, meeting many more friends than I ' ve ever had, and living with them. I think I am mature enough to leave home and live an campus. Maturity is hard to define, but 1 think I get along with people and will be willing to study hard. I got good grades in high school. ost of my grades were B ' s. I look forward to living on my own. My parents don ' t hassle me, but I would feel much freer living on campus. I also want to meet more people. I have many friends now, but 1 want to be more independent. Living at home makes you very dependent on your family, and I think you should start doing things on your own by the time you re 18. It will be hard to leave home and my family, -t will be hard to take care of myself without my mother reminding me to do this and that, and my father warning me to stay our of trouble. But it ' s something ! have to do, and something I look forward to doing. I feel I must help myself grow. I feel URI van help me to do this.

July 7, 1969 Class of 1973 Inters ®.!U) (I aa writing you a letter a yearbook at graduation...) It ' s been a long time since the days of football games on Saturday afternoons, beer drinking at the park, playing our guitars together... But it all seems like yesterday. In a couple of months we ' ll both be at our respective colleges, you way out in the midwest, and me down at URI. I ' m looking forward to living away from hone (aren ' t you — isn ' t everyon?) but at the same time, I expect that it ' ll be quite scary at first. We ' ll both be going our own wqpo out into the world, and I ' ll surely miss walking to school with you, going to the movies, and eve ything else we shared during our relationship. I rjaprocise that I won ' t go out with any boys at URI (I heard they ' re all pretty faggy — hahahaha) if you promise the same to me. But then we might discorer that going steady with each other hundreds of miles apart isn ' t such I ' ll miss everyone who won ' t be going to URI in the fall and most of our friends, as you know, .will be though. (Our high school will be almost transplanted to Kingston!) I don ' t know, I Just can’t wait — for the freedom, the independence, the heavy experiences we ' re all sure to encounter at college. I hear URI is pretty liberal as far aa drugs and sex go. (That ' s great!) Cod, I feel sentimental right now. We’re leaving an era of our lives behind us, while a whole new one begins. (I suddenly feel real old.) Well, have a great time at camp thiasummer (I miss you already!!!!) And, remember, Ron, we ' re college kids now!!! Love you always 24
