College...oh the memories!

When I first came to college, I had no idea what kind of people there were.  As a freshman on a mostly freshmen quad, you were dealing with a lot of kids trying to explore their personalities.  I don't know why so many teenagers do this, but you learn to accept it after awhile.  There was the kid with the mullet longer than his back, the girl who looked exactly like my suite mate from behind, and so many others.  Last night, my friends and I ventured out into familiar territory, our old dormitory quad, to get a Yoo-Hoo (yes the infamous drink that was spilled onto my keyboard, that our new quad has yet to supply for us in the basement of our tower).  It was weird, because large numbers of people stumbled past us to get to the bus that would eventually take them downtown, so it was almost completely empty.  We managed to somehow get a nervous freshman to let us into the tower so we could scour the vending machine.  However, after we got out, we didn't want to waste our fun time outside.  All of a sudden, out of no where, a kid dressed in only a robe and slippers started yelling.  There wasn't anyone around, because we weren't in front of him.  We slowly backed away, and then booked back to our safe home about a quarter of a mile away.  The things you experience in college are truly once in a lifetime. I am glad to say, I am almost allergy free!  Finally, after two weeks in agony (ok, well maybe not in agony, but it was close!) my symptoms are almost gone!
