In Class Writing: Culture Shock.

My most recent form of "culture shock" would have to be when I came to Indiana this summer for fall semester. As I have lived in Virginia my whole life, there was quite a bit of differences between the two. A main short of struggle I have everyday is with the word "pop." My roommate says it and just about everyone I know says it and I have promised myself that no matter if I spend the rest of my life in Indiana, I will never say pop. It is called soda. Another thing would be living on the east coast you would see movies such as "Rudy" and "Hoosiers." I believed that basketball was life in Indiana and that everyone would be good at it to an extent. I don't know if it's because I'm at a smaller school or what but most people just seem to be average at it just like everyone else. In Virginia, I was probably one of the bigger, taller people in my school. Standing at 6'1 and 180 pounds I thought I was at a decent size. I wouldn't realize that I was so small until I came here during orientation and saw how huge most of the men here were.
