I Love College

In the last couple of days I have realized I haven't written down a lot of my favorite experiences as a Freshman in college. Sad day. So, I'm going to post a few stories that I still think about every now and then. Stories that have in some way shaped the person I'm becoming.

It was move in day. I was nervous. I was about to move in with three strangers. The most contact I had with any of them was a message on Facebook. Or, well, Nyya had pop chatted me once. I wasn't sure what to expect. Amparo had said she wasn't a party girl but her Facebook and other comments had made me feel as if she would be. She was the one I was supposed to be sharing a room with and I was scared. I was the quiet, shy, I'd rather be at home then at a frat party, type person. And I just knew she was gonna be out partying all the time and I'd never get sleep. But, I got there and had my boxes outside the door and the first person I met was Amy. And of course Amy's army of people to help her set up all of her stuff. How she had so much stuff in her room I'll never understand. But anyways, my family helped me get everything set up. For some reason Morgan decided she wanted to make my bed....I didn't complain. I had my desk set up and my Twilight posters on the wall before Amparo even step foot in our room. Nyya came in and talked to me and Nick, who had stayed behind since my mom ran to Walmart to get some stuff for me. I was waiting to meet my roommate. Nyya was funny. I felt at ease with her. And we both had no idea how to pronounce Amparo. So, once she came in we did introductions and we still hadn't caught how to pronounce her name! So, we're like we'll wait for her to meet Amy and then we'll catch it then. So, once they met..well, let's just say Amparo likes to say her name super fast and nobody caught it. For like a week or two Nyya referred to her as A. For the first couple of days we didn't see a whole lot of Amparo. She thought we were insane. Nyya had never seen Twilight. So, on move in day Nyya said, 'Ok let's watch Twilight and get it over with.' So, I put it in. Not even half way through the movie Amparo and her friend came in. I about died of embarrassment. Great first impressions huh? I mean I had asked her if she liked Twilight just because I didn't want to freak her out with my posters. So, she was going into our living arrangements thinking I'm an insane Twilight freak and I was thinking she was a wild party girl.
Later that night Amy told us about a Frat party that she had been invited to so, I was like sure, why not? This is what college is all about anyways? I don't drink so, that won't be a problem. I'll just meet people and make some friends. Thomas and Sturdi, who I went to High School with, came too. They somehow got lost and made it there after we had. I was wearing heels. And let me tell you. That was the worst idea I have ever had in my entire life. Well...technically it was Amparo's idea. But, seriously. Ridiculous. As a piece of advice to anyone going to a Frat party for the first time. DO NOT WEAR HEELS!!! Just wear jeans, t-shirt, and regular shoes or flip flops. Easy, comfortable, perfect. The night progressed from there. And long story short I left with Thomas and Sturdi because I wasn't sure how comfortable I'd be going home with Amy. And I was ready to leave.
So, I went back to my room after saying goodnight to Thomas and Sturdi and watched the Disney channel alone. Wondering what the rest of the year would bring. If me and Amparo would be good friends or hate each other? Everyone came back from the party, except Amparo...we didn't know where she had gone. And I was asleep before she got back.
The rest of the year turned out to be something I'd never expect it to be. Amparo, Nyya, Amy, and later Maggie made my Freshmen year experience amazing. I had some of the best times with these girls. I'm glad to not only call them my friends but my family as well. this is to them. And I promise more stories to come. We have a lot. :)
Until next time.
