"Tessa!!" I heard my mom's voice call me from downstairs.I groaned to myself and rolled out of my tiny,yet comfortable bed.While neatly tucking the corners of my bed sheets into the headboard.I take my time because this is the last morning that I will be completing the tasks for months.

"Tessa" she calls again!!"

" I'm up!!" I yelled back from upstairs.The cabinets open and closed downstairs,the sounds of frantically preparing breakfast. The knot in my stomach grows with each step to the bathroom,by the time i start to shower,it's nearly unbearable.I spent the last few years nervously anticipating college.My weekends were spent studying and preparing for this day while my peers were out getting drunk,wasting their own time in life and jeopardizing their futures.The day my my acceptance letter to Washington State University came was thrilled,I expected it but that didn't take any of the excitement away.My mother cried for what felt like hours,and I have to admit I was pretty proud of myself.All my hard work finally paid off.I had once considered leavening Washington for college but eventually decided against it.I like familiarity and routines just like my mother.

The hot water loosed my strained muscles,how long have I been here?I hurried and washed my hair and body,lazily running a razor over my legs to remove the small stubble as appeared over the weekend.

As I wrapped the towel around my wet body,my mother calls my name again.I ignored he,I know she is nervous for my arrival day at college but I had this planned down to the hour,for months.My boyfriend Noah will be here soon to ride with me and my mother.He is one grade younger than me and for hundredth time I mentally scold his mom for putting him in kindergarten a year late.Noah keeps a perfect grade point average(gpa),he is brilliant and is willing to join me at the at WSU next year.I do wish that he was coming now,especially considering that I won't know a single person at college.I just need a decent roommate,that's the only thing I am asking for.
"Theresa"
"I am coming down now,please don't call my name again!" I yelled as I walked down the stairs.
