A Walk Down Memory Lane
October 9, 2018
Written By: Kay Torres
For four years, Lynchburg, Virginia, became my home.
Liberty University is what brought me and most Lynchburg residents to this small Virginia town. Liberty: it’s where we had our first taste of independence, our first roommate, our first college classes, and maybe for some you, your first (and hopefully only) “ring by spring”. Driving through University Blvd. and seeing the Blue Ridge Mountains is something I always took for granted going to school at Liberty. Those crisp spring evenings watching sunsets fall behind the Welcome Center are something that only a Liberty student will understand.
Liberty is a place where we meet lifelong friends and have life-changing experiences – all of this occurring within just 7,000 acres. The memories made on this campus will be held close to the hearts of Liberty students and alumni for the rest of our lives. This is where we learned who we are and how we want to influence the world.
Homecoming allows us to come back and re-live those memories, whether they’re not our favorite (late nights in the library) or they are (those late night Cook Out runs). Homecoming is a chance for us to come back and enjoy a walk down memory lane. Check out the new stadium, grab a bite at Reber-Thomas, and join us October 19th-20th for Homecoming weekend! Friday night we’re bringing back the Homecoming Bonfire – including food trucks, Coach Gill and more! Then on Saturday join us on University Blvd. before the football game for the Homecoming Parade!
