College Post #1

So I woke up at 6 last Thursday and thought to myself: "This is it. This. This is the day you have been waiting for, for as long as you can remember. And here it is."
Then I said goodbye to Rhyno, (the hardest part of my day), and got in the car with my parents -Chattanooga bound.
There was a time I thought that day would never come and today as I write this post I have been here at UTC, surrounded by strangers for three days. Its not long, but its enough time for me to realize that this is real. This is happening and I am finally independent and free.
And boy, does it feel good.
My roommates were my first friends and they are so awesome. Each of us is different but I like that. It keeps things interesting and I have already been learning so much. I think we are going to get along great.
I've met a few other people at some campus social things and so far I haven't found a person I haven't liked. I'm hoping that on Monday the people in my classes will want to be friends too. ;)
The dorm room is always cold but other than that I have nothing to complain about.
Zoe and I are about to go see a 100ft banana split... Only in college.
Another post soon!
