[quote=Anonymous]1996.

My mom & stepdad packed me up in his Jeep Cherokee. I had a couple suitcases, a garment bag, a book bag, and a big bin or two of stuff like a tiny coffee pot and desk lamp. Most of it was either graduation gifts or stuff I'd bought with my work money that summer. I think I had about $500 for books and spending money. No computer. I was about to get my first (Simeon) email account.

We drove 1.75 hours away. I remember we stopped at a Dollar General on the way because we realized I didn't have any shower shoes.

When we arrived, we parked in a field outside the dorm and upperclassmen helped us move in. My roommate, who had arrived a week beforehand for some program she was in, had already staked her claim, chosen her side of the rooom, and had decorated everything--I mean everything--in sunflowers. Sunflower blanket, sunflower posters, Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers, sunflower shower shoes. She wasn't there when we arrived, so we all kind-of just went, uh--wtf?

I'd ordered a loft bed and sheets, which were waiting for me, and my stepdad and the senior guys assembled it.

By that time, I was mostly unpacked, my roommate had arrived, and I said goodbye to my parents and went with my roommate to get lunch at the cafeteria.

That night, I made coffee for the first time and pretended to like it.

I went home for fall break.

My roommate moved out before winter break and I didn't get another one. [/quote]
