Dakota is not the greatest scenic state so the drive seemed even longer than it actually was, I passed some towns that had less than 50 people living there and I was thinking to myself, “what on earth did I get myself into”. My mom and I got into Aberdeen around 2pm and couldn't find the campus, we eventually found campus 15 minutes later and started to unload all of my things.
