For me, moving to a college campus was a lot like moving to a different country. No one looked like me. Coming from a community with a large Hispanic population, I was accustomed to seeing people who were darker like me, who were shorter like me, who were darker haired like me, but in college I found myself surrounded by the complete opposite. Everyone was lighter, taller, and had lighter hair. Everyone fit in with everyone else, but I seemed to stick out like a sore thumb. The foreignness did not
