“I was talking to my friend who I came here with. We all got in a crazy car accident months ago. There were seven of us in the car, and it was somewhat of a near death experience. I wasn’t seriously injured, but everything flashed before my eyes and it made a lot of things clearer. It helped me really focus on the connections I want to make, and how you don’t have all the time you think you have. You have to do the most with it. It puts things in perspective when you have that experience with your friends. You come out of it on another level, and you really appreciate everything more.”
