Write a letter from a new student at university to his parents back home in another state. The memo should include details about campus life, studies, and any other activities that would inform his parents about how he is faring living away from home.
Hi Mom and Dad,

How are you guys doing? I'm doing good. I got the letter from you guys that you sent last week. Thank you for writing, and I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, but classes have been keeping me busy lately.

My dorm is nice. It's enough space for myself and my roommate, Hideki. Hideki is majoring in Law, and he is a very smart and respectful guy. I know you guys will like him if you meet him. The room we're staying in has two separate rooms, so we have enough privacy, but even then, our schedules are different enough that we only see each other at the end of the day when it's time to eat dinner. All in all, I think I've made a great friend in Hideki.

The classes I have for my Psychology major are pretty challenging, but I have a good enough handle on my assignments that I am passing all of them. I have English, Computer Science, Psychology, Biology, and Music Theory, which is an elective. I like my Psychology class; I'm learning a lot about the history of psychology and the different theories involved in the development of the field.

I love campus living. The campus has a nice cafeteria with a variety of foods to eat and no shortage of fountain drinks like soda and juice! The meals are also very affordable, and they give large portions to the students. There are also weekly concerts held in the open-air square at the center of the campus. I usually take a lawn chair or blanket with me to sit on the grass and enjoy the music they play during these concerts.

However, I do miss home. I still miss Mom's cooking, and I miss going to the arcade down the street from our house. I think I will go there when I come to visit this spring. Also, if Dad is willing, can he teach me to drive standard? I always wanted to learn.

Anyway, I just wanted to drop a line and say "hello" and let you guys know how I'm doing here. Everything is terrific, and I look forward to seeing you guys in a month during my spring break.

Love,
Michael
