Moving Into College is always an adventure, the laughs, uneasiness, timidness and even the feeling of being excited causes a ball of emotion. I remember my first day, I moved into a room with 2 other girls. I came later than the other two so I was stuck with the bunk bed. My first reaction was, "GREAT!" -_- I sucked it up and slowly moved my things in with my mom, step-dad, and little brother. He laughed at me and said something along the lines of, "It sucks to be you, don't hit your head on the ceiling. Have fun." I wouldn't let him see me down. You know those times when you know you want to cry or scream but you laugh it off and turn it around so it makes it seem like you don't care? Yup, thats what I did. I made up lies to make myself feel better. I needed the convincing, not him. He didn't care, he was going back to his cozy bed, one that wasn't high up in the sky.

I won't say which year I'm in now that'll come later, but lets just say I'm happy with my living situation. Anywho, lets fast forward through the day. Lets skip me not being able to find Wal-Mart and the GPS saying recalculating every 2 minutes and me having to get my drinks from Staples. Staples doesn't sell drinks so you know the price was twice the amount I would get at Wal-Mart. Anyway, my family went on their way, my mom shed a few tears and that was that. I was officially a college freshman, living on my own. While packing my things away I remembered a girl I met, we'll name her Brittany. I went to her room to see how she was living.  Upon entering I saw she didn't have a roommate. I became excited because there was only one of her in a two person bedroom. I didn't make my sudden happiness apparent, I just asked where her roommate was. She then said she didn't have one. If my pupils could change into, lets say stars to show how happy I was, they would have. Within five minutes she asked me to move in with her because she saw it was three of me, in a room meant for two people.


Room switch day was 7 days after we first moved in, I was already on it. I gradually moved my things into the other room during those 7 days and I rarely slept in my old room. Nothing against my roommate, I just couldn't live in a cluttered room. When I officially moved in, the day couldn't of been better. I left my old roommates a little note saying goodbye and went on my merry way. They probably were happy too. I know I would be. 


The first night consisted of hanging out with other freshman, going to the cafeteria and trying non-homemade cooked food for the first time. After that, going to the bathroom because my stomach wasn't used to it. Then finally going to sleep and getting ready for a 20329322 hour(it wasn't that long, just felt like it) orientation the next day.
