" Mom,  the box goes right there under the desk. I'll empty it when I find time," I instructed my mother. I know she heard me, but she doesn't seem to care as she starts putting things away. I grab the box before she can finish, as I pull it away I give her the fakest smile I could manage.     "Im sorry, I just... I know you're a sophomore at college now but that doesn't make  it any easier than last year. You... you're my baby." She blurts out with tears filling her hazel eyes.    " I'll be fine mother, you-"  Before I  could finish my words someone burst through the doors. She toples over my luggage before introducing herself. She's tall, taller than me I would guess 5'8 but then again she's wearing chunky Fila's that add to her height. She has her brown hair pushed back into a perfect  bun that shows off her dark brown eyes. Her style is basic. I can tell this is her go to, maroon jeans with a white Tee and a cream cardigan.  When her eyes meet mine she smiles, I get a good vibe from her even though we've never even talked.    " I'm so sorry I'm such a clutz, I'm Kaycee." She says before a woman that looks like a carbon copy of her struts behind her.    "And this is my mother." She says as my mother and her mother shake hands. We spend the rest of the day talking about our home life and why we chose to attend William and Mary. I give Kaycee all the campus hot spots, since she's only a freshman. When we each finish unpacking and our mothers finally leave us we both fall asleep.

    Classes dont start till Monday and it's only  Friday  so there's not much I can do. I called my boyfriend but he said he was working out so I can't hang out with him. I could call one of the few friends I had from last year, but most of them are still in the Phi Beta Kappa sorority and they are all probably getting ready for the beginning of the year mixer tonight which I plan to attend. Iit starts at 6 so I have plenty of time to relax before then. I organize my backpack, and rearrange some of my belongings before it's time to get ready. I grab my toiletry bag and find my way to the communal showers. Ever since i came to college I never had to deal with communal showers.I had the luxury of only having to share a bathroom with 7 people on my floor in the sorority.  This is my second year but it feels like my first. I wasn't exposed to much since I was in a sorority. My only friends were there besides Becky who transferred to UNC. When I get back to my bedroom I find Kaycee reading one from her history textbook and taking notes. She must be a nerd doing work before classes even started. She'll be burned out by Wednesday.  I would invite her but I almost barely was allowed to go, but since i'm still in the good graces with the house mom I was allowed to attend. My look is simple, but still cute. I'm wearing a spaghetti strap cami style dress with cherry's imprinted all over the black fabric, My hair is down and my armpit length light brown hair is curled hanging over my shoulders. I'm not a makeup kind of girl so I decided not to even bother doing it tonight. I end up asking Kaycee if I should wear heels or my plain white vans with the outfit, not to my surprise she picks the vans, but I pack black 4 inch heels in case everyone opted for the fancy look today.
