Day one of attending Silvian college , one of the most well known art and music colleges. As I pulled up to the campus I began to take things in. The campus was scattered with returning students, as well as many newcomers to college life carrying an abundance of boxes and bags. There were beautiful green beech trees lining all the white cement pathways. As well as the occasional bench or two. As my mother drove around to the drop off area she began to converse with me.
"Oh my goodness I still can't believe my baby girl is off to college already!" "Well I can't believe it either Mom.. It seems like just yesterday me and Dylan were heading off to our first day of Kindergarten" Oh Dylan. I greatly miss that dude. He was the bestest friend I've ever had. Actually, he's the only real friend I've ever had. Truth is, I am not skilled in creating friendships, as well as maintaining them. Dylan was different than any other person. I would look forward to anything and everything involving him.

As I entered my dorm room there were two other students standing before me. They obviously were already acquainted sometime in the past, for they were sitting on the couch of the surprisingly big dorm room giggling and chattering while immersed into their phones, and oddly each other. As I crossed the threshold of the door my two roommates whose names I learned later on to be Nylana and Myrnse, or Ny and Myrn for short.
Nylana was the first one to speak as she exclaimed, "Hey! You must be Hunter, right?"
To which I responded with, "Yeah, and what are you guys's names?" Both girls started their name as well as the shortened versions of their names, which they prefered to go as. I was going to like it here; I could already tell these girls would be two of my best friends.
After my mother and the girls helped me bring all my stuff inside our wonderful dorm room I took a minute to examine my surroundings. As you entered the door there was a bunk bed to your left and right. The wood was a dark mahogany color and the mattresses looked promising. Under the top bunk of the bed on the right was a couch. Dead across from the door was a small retro style mini fridge with a matching microwave upon the top. To the left and right were two desks, not yet cluttered with papers and textbooks. In between the foot of both beds there were two wardrobes. The third wardrobe was next to the couch under the right bunk, well loft bed. Sadly, there was no bathroom attached to our dorm.
As I finished examining my new living space there was a knock at the door. "I got it guys!" Ny called out. "Uh Hunter I think your mom is back!" Oh great. What could she possibly be doing back here. I hope I didn't forget anything. "You forgot your bunny sweetheart!" Oh fuck. Just great, exactly what I needed. "Oh my god mother why must you embarrass me!" I sneered at her. My mother replied with a look of defeat plastered upon her face, "I'm sorry honey I just thought you might want it." Deep down I knew I couldn't sleep without the damn thing but Nylana and Myrn didn't need to know that.. As I turned to glance at Nylana and Myrn it was quite obvious they were trying with all their might to not let a laugh or snicker escape. As I gave them a quite annoyed look they quickly resolved their faces to the normal resting state. I then turned back to face my mother. I got up and walked towards her to retrieve my baby blanket which I had chose to call my bunny. As I snachted it out of my mothers hands she gave me a confused look. I proceeded to muster up all the strength to not explode with a plentitude of profanities. I quickly gave her a goodbye hug and showed her out of the door. As I walked back inside Nylana and Myrn were back to chattering to each other. I stepped back over to them and sat beside Myrn on the couch.
"Soo care to explain what that bunny of yours is?" Nylana snickered. "I've had the thing since the day I was born." Myrn butted into the conversation before Nylana could say anything else. "Ny stop making fun of her! You still sleep with a stuffed animal!" Nylana's face immediately turned a shade of crimson red as she turned away from us. It was then where a prolonged awkward silence was set in place. Eventually the three of us got up and began to unpack. I got the wardrobe under the loft bed which I had claimed.
Once we were all done unpacking our things and decorating we spent the rest of the night talking and getting to know one another. Myrn then suggested we have a movie night. The movie of our choice, Paper Towns. I Instantly fell in love with the movie. Q was all I ever wanted within a person. Margo was who I aspired to be. Anyways, after the movie we all crawled into bed and spent our first night at college.
