My fourth choice comes from watching the change in demeanor from freshman to sophomore year in relation to communitas. During freshman year, people are at the start of their journey and knew few, if any, other people. Slowly, bonds begin to form and they are brought together by common beliefs and view each other as equals. However, during sophomore year, this seems to stop. Sure there are new friendships forged, but not with the same intensity as freshman. I think this has to do with the fact that freshman year can be likened to a pilgrimage because of the unfamiliarity and toughness while sophomore is more of a trip because it has been done before but just slightly harder.
