One on One with Jacqueline Rofe
This is a small little interview with my best friend here at PSU, Jacqueline Rofe. She's a wonderful, calm, and happy person. 10/10 recommend becoming her friend.

Homesick
Although being at PSU is very liberating, it would be nice to have someone familiar to bring me down to earth. Being so far away from home has its pros and it's cons. One of the biggest obstacles I've come to face is being so far away from my friends and family.
Being able to touch, hug, and talk to someone is so important in a relationship. Having a physical connection with someone not only brings the two individuals closer to each other but also allows for communication without words. Even though the power of internet, telephone, and video allows us to communicate via computer screen, it does not establish a physical connection.
For the past week, I have been wanting nothing more than to hug my mom. Not only to feel her presence but also to feel her love, comfort, and kindness. I call my family about two to three times a week; however, a 15 minute conversation over the telephone does not compare to a 3 second hug or a kiss on the cheek.
I miss having the comfort of my closes friends next to me. Currently, many of my friends live 4 to 9 hours away from PSU and since most of them are freshman without cars on campus, it is very difficult for them to visit me and vice versa. The friend I miss most is my best friend Grace. We live on the same street and practically do everything together. Being away from her is difficult, but because out friendship is so strong, it does not feel like we live 4 hours away, rather we live just a couple of houses down.
Being here at PSU has been an eye opening experience. I have discovered more about myself in the past three weeks than I have in one year of high school. Even though i miss my friends and family, I'm so happy that I have met other wonderful friends and I cannot wait to grow with them!
Sincerely,
Chelsea
