Mom and I struggle moving the last box into my dorm room. "God damn." I plopped on my bed that took literally hours to set up.
My roommate isn't here right now but I think i'll just see her tomorrow. I haven't met her yet but these stories I been hearin about college roommates ain't been sounding too good.
"Watch yo mouth." My mother said slumped into my desk chair. A lot of people have trouble with roommates because of the sharing a room part. But my dorm has two rooms, a shared bathroom and a kitchen which should give us a good amount of privacy. The lady at the front desk didn't give me much but my roommates name. Wynter James. I really hope she ain't one of them back stabbing ass roommates. I'll be so quick to move out this bitch.
"Alr baby I gotta go back home to these crazy ass kids, u gon be good?"
"Yea I think I'll be fine, love u." I get up to hug my mother. She quickly pulls out her phone and takes a picture of my room.
"I can't wait to show your brother!! Ugh, I'm so excited." My mother practically jumps up and down.
"Okay that's enough, bye mommy." I head to the shower and go to bed.

Ring! Ring! Ring!
The sound of my phone alarm goes off. I almost fall off the bed trying to turn this damn alarm off. Yea, I needa move this night stand over a little. Shaking my head, I get up and head to the bathroom. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I head back to my room to get my first day outfit.
Clark has always been my dream college. I love how Morehouse, Spelman, and Clark get together for games, events, tailgates, etc. The college life just seems so exciting to me.
Today ima try to go for a fly but chill outfit. Throwing on my baby pink body suit, I put on a black leather jacket over it. I grab dramatic mini skirt, my Prada purse, and a pair of Chunky Lace Rick Owens.< Picture Below > After spraying on my Miss Dior perfume, I head out of my room and see Wynter seated at the island.

"Omg, hey girl! Ur so prettyy." Wynter gets up and hugs me.
"Heyy, thank uu. U as well." I hug back.
"I'm Wynter."
"Milan. But u can call me Mimi." I seat myself next to her.
"Okay Mimi. I heard u do hair, how's everything going with that considering ur in college now?"
"Yea, I've been meaning to ask u, um are u okay with me bringing clients in my room for appointments? That's really my only option right now but if not then I totally understand." I explain.
"No no, yes u can bring in ur clients. I don't mind." Wynter expresses.
"Oh okay."
"Ur outfit is eating right now omgg. Are those SM shades?" She asks.
"Yes tyy, I got them from the thrift store not too far from here."
"We should definitely go on a thrift store date sometime."
"Omgg I think we should. What class do u have right now?" I responded.
"Uhh. I think I have Biology 540. Yea." Wynter replies checking her phone.
"Oh okay cool. We have the same class. I'll walk down with u." She nods.

Since I was young, I've always been fascinated with doing hair and cosmetology. While getting my hair done when I was younger, I would always pay attention to the small details and techniques each hairstylist used. It came natural to me. I started doing hair about a year and a half ago and since then, my hair page has been growing a lot with about 10k followers. For my hustle to be a small business, I'm definitely so grateful for the help I've gotten so far.
After all my classes, I have about 2 clients. But it's only a ponytail and a silk press, I'm sure it won't be a long process. Walking into Biology, I make my way through the rows of seats when I stumble over a poorly concealed bookbag and my Graphic Design book drops on the floor. Bending down to grab the book, a brownskin reaches down in front of his seat, looks up and hands me the book.
"Oh, thank you." I send him a slight smile. Taking in his facial features, I notice his lengthy curly dreads that look like they've just been taken out of two strand twists, beautiful brown skin tone, neck tattoos and slight mustache.
Omg, he so fine.
"No problem, Gorgeous." He speaks. I also notice his deep voice and hooded eyes. My stomach does a summersault.
Wynter and I sit side by side closer to the board. "Omg girl, u seen that fine ass nigga I just dropped by book infront of?"
"Yes girl, gon get u one." Wynter and I chuckle.
"Good morning everyone, I am Professor Smith, and this is Biology 540." The class begins.

Today felt like the longest day ever. From me doing projects and homework on the first day to having two clients right after definitely drained me. I kick off my boots, grab my towel and head straight to the shower to get ready for bed.
After getting out, I head to Wynter's room. Knocking twice, I slightly open the door to see her on the floor ironing her outfit for tomorrow. "Hey girl, what's up?" Wynter looks up.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if we had anything big going on next month, like any events or something. I want to work my appointments around that schedule."
"Umm. Yea, I think on the 8th we have our first football game of the season. Everybody keeps talking about it. Shit gon be deep, u wanna go wit me?" She answers.
"Of course, just let me know the details and we can ride together. Thank u." I walk out of Wynter's room and head to mines.
I begin packing up all my hair supplies so they'll be ready for tomorrows clients. This month I only have 5 appointments but many slots are open. Since I'm starting in a new area, many people don't know about my hair page yet. I will definitely be open to new clients next month.
I turn off the lights and get in my bed.

~ Hey guysss. I was actually really nervous about writing a book because of all the hate comments but its really fun. I tried to keep this chapter short and simple considering it's the first chapter. I just wanted to give y'all a run down of what's going on in her life right now not too much. Please make sure to vote and comment!
