After 6 months here at the HLC NF, it’s all finally coming to an end. It still doesn’t feel real to me as I’m typing this, but in just a few days I’ll be heading back to Pennsylvania to prepare for my next big move. This all a bit bittersweet for me. I’m overall excited to bring the skills I have gained through this program into whatever endeavor I decide to pursue next, but there are a few things that I am really going to miss about this place.

For starters: the view. It is unlike anything else I have seen before and it has been an absolute privilege to call this forest my home. I mean just look at this! It’s absolutely breathtaking!

I’m also going to miss the people that I have spent so much time with over the summer. A part of not living near a lot of people is naturally getting closer to the people who are near you. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the people I met through this internship.

I’m not sure if anyone considering this position will read this, but in the slight chance that someone in that exact position comes across I will offer up a bit of advice:

Don’t pass this up. There is so much that you will learn from a season in the program and you’ll be able to see different parts of the country that you haven’t been to yet.

Signing off one last time,

Nick
