"Mom, I said I have everything." I laugh, walking out of the kitchen and into the doorway. I was starting college this week and my mom was getting really uptight.

"Okay, Lizzie. I just want to make sure you're all set. Ugh I just can't believe my baby's going off to college." She comes over to me and sighs. "I'm gonna miss you." Her eyes start to brim with tears.

"For the fiftieth time this morning, I know. I'll miss you too." I say before hugging her tightly and checking over my checklist once more. All of the things I would need to start off my year at college were stuffed into my moms small car trunk. "Come on.. We gotta go now," I call. She grabs her purse and rushes outside. When I reach the car, I hop into the passenger seat and prepare myself for our 2 and a half hour journey.

...

We finally arrive at the campus of TSU.

"Wow. It's so big." My mom gawks at the all the buildings.

"Yep," I reply with a big grin spread across my face. "It's actually happening," I think to myself. I'm so excited to finally be on my own, away from home. I'm a bit nervous .. But my excitement makes up for it. We find a parking spot after going in continuous circles for what seems like forever. I step out of the car and walk into the administration building. When I walk in the doors, there's a young woman with curly hair sitting at the front desk.

"Hello." She says kindly, giving me a smile.

"Hi. My name is Elizabeth Smith. I'm here to pick up my dorm information?" I half ask nervously. She smiles.

"Alright. One second..." She types away on her computer before printing out a sheet of paper and handing it to me.

"Here's your room number and your key."

"Thank you." I give her one last smile before turning and walking out the door. I get back inside the car and direct my mom where to go. We drive around and finally find my building. We park, and I nervously sigh and get out.

"Liz, you want me to help you with your things?" My mom asks and walks around the other side of the car.

"Um..sure."

We both grab bags and boxes and I anxiously scurry inside the building and up the stairs to find my dorm. When I see A620 engraved on a door, I pull out my key. My mom finally catches up with me.

"Wow. You must be excited." She laughs, standing by my side. I unlock the door and turn the handle. When the door opens, I see a black-haired girl sitting on a bed. The room is smaller than I expected. There are two beds, each on opposite sides of the room. There is a small dresser next to each bed, and a closet in the corner. Her side of the room is decorated in rock band posters and trash lay next to her bed.

"Hey." The girl says, setting down her magazine.

"Hi.." I mumble, stumbling into the door. The girl is wearing a black tank top, black jeans, and a pair of black heels, and her hair is pulled up into a messy ponytail. She has on a ridiculous amount of eyeliner and her blue eyes pop out in contrast to her outfit.

"Uh, I'm Elizabeth. But call me Lizzie." I say, walking over to the empty bed and setting down my belongings. My mom follows in my footsteps, setting her armful of objects on the bed.

"Sweet. I'm Kristen." She says, giving me the slightest smile. I stand awkwardly next to my mother. "So, are you like a freshman or something?" Kristen asks, standing up.

"Yep. What about you?" I answer. I'm not sure what to say to her.

"I'm a junior."

I nod.
