With every ending comes a new beginning


"Are you sure you'll be alright?" My sister asked me as I anxiously played with my fingers.

"Yeah I'll be fine. It's just college. I was alright when I entered highschool and I passed that stage without much of a worry so this isn't so different right?" I gave her a tight smile trying to convince myself more than her. I really do hope that everything turns out to be great.

"Alright. Call me or mom if you need anything okay?" She assured as I took out my luggage from the trunk of her car.

"Thanks. I love you" I waved to her as she drove off.

I sighed for what seemed like the 1,000th sigh that I've made today as I stood in front of the huge architecture of Campbell's University.

"You can do this Brad. You've been waiting for college right?" I mumbled to myself. I sighed for what I hope would be the last one before I grabbed my stuffs and went to the Information Center for my dorm keys and final schedule.

"Hi. I'm here for my dorm keys and my schedule?" I asked the lady behind the counter in the most confident way that I could. I was nervous to be honest. I wasn't one to just talk to people and the lady behind this counter isn't helping me calm my nerves right now.

"Name?" She asked as she continued typing on her computer, not even giving me a glance.

"Uhm, Bradley Simpson?" Why am I making it seem like I'm unsure of everything right now? Man up Brad! I had to wait for her to respond for a few more minutes before she grabbed a zip lock with my schedule, keys and a map inside; at least I have a 50% chance of finding my way to the right places now.

"Thanks" I mumbled not really feeling so thankful of her right now.

I walked further inside the campus and have noticed a festive kind of setting with old students welcoming new students and whatnot. I don't really have time for those. All I wanted was to get into my dorm and sleep the day away.

After 30 minutes of looking for the right building (every building looks the same what the actual frick) and a good hour of dragging all of my luggage to the fourth floor of the dormitory, I finally made it to the front of what would be my home for the next few years.

I opened the door, and just when I thought I could just slump into my bed and sleep, my room mate—-who I am hating on first sight right now—-was obviously not having any of it. The room is a disaster. He could've at least kept my side of the room clean, but no, he was enjoying having the room to himself.

"Uhm hi?" As much as this is pissing me off, I didn't want to make the same bad first impression as my room mate gave me

"Oh hi. You must be my new room mate. I'm sorry about the mess I'm looking for my friend's cap. I promise to fix everything when I find the blood cap ok?" He was actually frantic at the moment. Does it really take a huge mess just to find for a single cap? I tried to "politely" put all of his stuffs from my bed on the floor when I saw a cap with the huge pile of shirts.

"Hey, is this the cap you're looking for?" I asked him as he was still looking for the cap. If I'm not mistaken, he's actually about to cry. He snapped his head in my direction and gave me a reaction as if he saw Jesus. "YES! OH GOD YES! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU ALREADY!" To say that he was hugging me tightly would be an understatement.

I pried him off me and gave him the kindest smile that I could offer him right now. "Uh, sure. I'm Brad by the way." My room mate was grinning at me and he was actually starting to scare me. "You are?" I said trying to push him to stop staring at me."Oh right. I'm Connor and I'm gay"

Wow, way to be blunt there roomie.
