Here I am, stepping foot on the college I dreamed of going to, and it has finally become a reality. All of these years of stress from not only schoolwork but my own personal works have finally paid off. The college campus seems a little intimidating because it is so big and there are so many people I don't know. There are many thoughts and questions running through my head because it is not only a step onto the campus but another step closer to my future. There is so many people here I don't know where to start. I see a kid that looks lost too, I introduce myself to him and he introduces himself to me too. We eventually become "lost" friends trying to find out where to start. His name is Josh and he just so happens to be my roommate. After we chatted for a while we find someone who knows directions and ask them where to go to get started moving in to the dorms. I have all of my essentials ready to go to move in. The person we found for help guided Josh and I to the dorms where we were staying at. This is it, I finally reached my room and it was time to start unpacking.
After finishing setting up in my dorm room, it was time to explore. I walked around the campus with my roommate and friend Josh, and he and I saw some amazing things on campus. The transition from high school to now is unreal and everything is so much bigger. I saw some amazing building and sports complexes. I also met some new people which was good because it is what I'm going to need to do in order to survive college. After exploring the campus for a while, Josh and I headed back to the dorm because it was late and we had class the next day. As we got back, we got into our beds and got ready to sleep. I had a hard time sleeping because many thoughts were running through my head about what I was getting myself into. I finally fell asleep and got lost in my dreams. Morning came and it was time to get ready for class. As I was walking to class, I witnessed what a normal school day looked like by all of the different people I saw. I walked up to the door of my first class, which was history, and I had butterflies in my stomach. I walked into the classroom and introduced myself to the professor and went to my seat. Class went on and my butterflies started to die down. As the day went on and I jumped from class to class, my butterflies were gone. School was finished and I felt good about my first day. I went back to my room where I saw Josh and he and I talked about our first day of school. Both of us had a good day at school and we wanted to celebrate it. We decided to go get some food and then float the river that was right next to the school. We went to the store and bought a raft and then bought and ice chest to bring on board. We started to float down and the scenery was unreal. After floating the river, we got tired because it was late and it was a long day. We headed back to our room where we relaxed until it was the appropriate time to go to sleep. After relaxation, it was time to sleep. I got in bed and my thoughts came back to me about my journey to this school and what my future has in store for me. This is where I start my new journey.
