Collage day one

I entered the gates of the college I have wished to get into since I understood the concept of college and education. The famous ROSEWOOD UNIVERSITY. The University of Geniuses.

I came here last year to get a tour , it was magical but this year it seems more than that , these gates somehow look like a doorway to a world of geniuses , which I'm not. with flowers blooming on trees of either sides of the entrance. Okay maybe I made that up . But it's beautiful nonetheless.

A pathway filled with freshmen like me nervous, happy, amazed .
Ohh ! And some crying

Seeing them I felt sane.

N

o ,

Honestly I'm petrified really.

It's my first time into a college like everyone else obviously I am allowed to cry. But I just feel like it would be such a drag that I join my dream college crying.

I see sophomores and seniors. Two type

Single , career driven and happy
Committed-non-committed couples , devouring each other on the path to my first orientation class.

My thoughts about love are not much stronger than my love for skating. ( negligible)

I have been in love and have had my heart broken once but it was puppy love the kind everyone has in 9th grade and then gets cheated on till 10th grade.

And the best part being that the guy's highest grades were not even close to my lowest grades. "Yeah never doing that again" I chuckle thinking.

I do have a type in men . And I know I'm decent looking too..
But somehow I never really fall for anyone the way I want to.
Over the years I figured it's because I expect to find my lover in places I go.
And when I don't , I end up upset.

This time to avoid that . I'll not think about getting anywhere in my love life . I won't keep expectations I can't make any mistakes now that I'm here. I'm here to be an academic weapon. I'll top all my classes and major in finance.

I have orientation classes the whole day today and then I need to unload my luggage into my dorm .
And Maybe if luck's still on my side I'll make some friends.
Right now I need really strong coffee so that I could wash off my nervousness.

I buy a coffee from campus and head to the room for my 1st orientation class.
