todays the day. my first day at college.
my alarm goes off. i look at the time, 5:30am. i rlly wasnt ready to wake up.
i stretch and layed in bed for 10 minutes, nervous to get up.
i didnt want this day to come. as i walked downstairs in my fluffy dressing down and fluffy slippers to get some breakfast, weetabix and coffee ( the usual ) these stupid, scary thoughts run through my head.
'what if no one likes me?'
'what if i dont fit in?'
i had to get these thoughts off my mind. i looked outside, raindrops dripping down the window and the only light i could see coming from the street lamps and the bright moon, the trees gently swishing side - to side in the cold morning breeze. i sit at the table. downing my coffe and hardly eating any breakfast. i went back upstairs to finish packing up my last box.
it was about 40 minutes later, i had packed up my last box and had got in the shower. i blow-dried my hair, then put my long, blonde, wavy hair into two loose plaites. it was now about 6:20am. i got dressed and just put on my favourite ripped, mom jeans and a plain, beige, tank top. it was freezing as it was early in the morning and raining so i quickly put on my jumper. i went over to do my desk to do something with my face. i didnt have much time so i put on concealer under my eyes, curled my eyelashes so they flicked up and looked curled and long, i then put on my favourite, pink, glittery lipgloss. my dad then called me from the front door as he was carrying the last couple of boxes to the car, " olivia, its time to go now, are u sure uve got everything". i quickly put on my favourite necklace my mum gave me before she rushed to work as she sadly couldnt come to take me aswell as she was at work as i replied back " yes dad, i think ive got everything im just coming now". i rushed down the stairs almost missing my step and nearly tripping over as i reached to the bottom. i slipped on my favourite black boots and walked out the door. this didnt feel real. i locked up the house and got in the car in the passenger seat. i shut the door and fastened my seat belt. my dad reversed off the drive.
we drove off the estate, and we was finally on our way to college. it was now light outside and the sky had cleared up a bit althought there was still raindrops on the windows. i looked at the time. 7:20am.we had a long journey ahead of us. i had goosbumps all on my arms and knees. i didnt know what to do this jounrey. i didnt know where to look so i just looked outside through my window, watching the raindrops.
after travelling for almost 1 half hour, we stopped off at starbucks. i ordered my favourite, a cookies and cream frappochino and my dad, a hot coffe. i was finally a bit distracted and wasnt as nervous. i now had 2 and a half hours left to go. i was distracting myself asmuch as i could, scrolling through my instagram and looking out of the winodow watching all the other cars drive by, wondering where they were going. i then realsied that thee only people i knew that were going to this same college as me were my best friends since primary, amelia and holly. i realised the two of them were in the same dorm and there was an extra room. surely that room was for me. as i distracted myself on this journey so far asmuch as i could i had one hour and 20 minutes left now. i decided to pass the time i had left by watching my favourite series. i plugged in my earphones and turned on my ipad. i went onto netlix, and watched outerbanks.
i passed the time as much as i could that i looked out the winodw and realised. i was finallly here. after that long journey there it was, the amazing building. my dad helped me unload up the car and we carried the heavy boxes into the building. i went and collected my key. this was the part i was waitng for. i looked at the key, room 245. me and my dad decided to get the lft so we didnt have to carry the boxes up two flights of stairs. we finally got onto the second floor, walking down the giant hallway. we finally reach it. room 245. i put the key into the lock, and turn it. i open the door. "hi guy-" .
no. this cant be happening. who is this. wheres holly and amelia? " um hi? who are you? wheres holly and amelia" kate questioned. " oh hi um come in. im ur roommate. tessa. i have no idea who holly and amelia is" answered kate's roomate. "omg im so sorry, hi its rlly nice to meet you" kate said.
shes really not that bad. tessa seems so nice. she has this mazing, chestnut coloured, straight hair and the most gorgeous blue eyes.
my dad help me put the rest of the boxes into my room.
here it is. it finally came. the time i was dreading the most. i leant infor a big hug and my dad caught me, his arms rapped around me. i knew this wasnt a goodbye forever, but im just used to my dad always being there, always being around whenever i need him. my dad has always put the biggest smile on my face, and been there for me when i was down to put a smile on my face. i could feel the warmth from my dad.
he just feels so..
..comforting
