\nThe rocking chairs on the front porch of Main. I often wish that I could just spend five minutes in those chairs again.

\nThe steps to the Moody Center where I first met Bill Wrobel. Seven years later he became my husband.

\nView from the campus road: the chapel\u2019s spire, the warm glow from the library\u2019s windows, and the first glimpse of East\u2019s porches and Front Quad.

\nUnderneath one of the beautiful weeping willow trees that are all around campus.

\nFounder\u2019s cemetery. The trek up was invigorating.
\nPat Ganase \u201973<\/em><\/p>\n![\"stone](\"http:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/bench.jpg\")
\nThere was a little stone bench tucked away in the Beale Garden. I used to go there to get away from everything and enjoy a quiet afternoon.
\nMary Ratliff \u201902<\/em><\/p>\n![\"sunset\"](\"http:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/sunset.jpg\")
\nThere was a point in my freshman year when the path up on the hill to the cemetery was lined with big bales of hay, some so large you needed a friend to help you up. We ran and fell and somersaulted on those bales until campus got sleepy under the Blue Ridge sunset.

\nThe Hollins Room. Being surrounded by all the alums\u2019 books was always comforting.

\nThe locker room in the gym.

\nThe tack room at the barn.

\nThe soccer field. I fell in love with Hollins when I realized I could play soccer and be surrounded by the beauty of campus and the mountains.
\nChristine Marie Jehu \u201906<\/em><\/p>\n![\"Botetourt](\"http:\/\/www.hollins.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/brr.jpg\")
\nBotetourt Reading Room. Loved reading and working in there with all the presidents\u2019 portraits.

\nBack Quad. I used to love sitting on the front steps of Tinker working on homework or goofing off with my friends.
