It was a cool spring morning in Belleville. The sun came shining through my bedroom window, warming my face. and waking me up, along with my alarm clock that was set for 5:30 AM. I was extremely excited about my first day of college. I got accepted into Rutgers University, which was about a half hour away from my house in Newark, New Jersey. I decided to do a double major since high school was a breeze for me, I figured I'd challenge myself a little more. The major I decided to go with were Journalism, since I love to write, and Music Composition, because, well, that's one should be self explanatory. I was also very nervous because a new school in a place where I really don't know anybody was a big deal for me, But I was ready for the challenge. I got up, made my bed, took a shower, got dressed and went downstairs where I found my mother sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast. Dad was already at work so I didn't usually see him until I got home later on in the evening after I got off work.
"Good morning, Mom" I said with a sleepy smile, although the shower did seem to wake me a up little bit more before coming downstairs. I gave my mom a kiss on the cheek as she said "Good morning dear, are you ready for your big day?". "Ehhh, I guess, just have the jitters", I took a bite of the toast that my mom made me for breakfast, she's the one who does all the cooking around here, She does a damn good job too. "Awe. Honey, I'm sure you'll be fine, you're beautiful, you have a great personality, and I'm sure you'll make friends within in the first hour of being there". My mom always told me that I was pretty. I only stood 5 foot 2 and I was super skinny and pale. My hair jet black and straight, about an inch past my shoulders, with bright green eyes and glasses. I wore the ones that everybody said I looked like nerd, but I loved my glasses. I thought I was hideous but everybody I knew seemed to think different.
It was about 6:15 in the morning and according to my school schedule, my first class started at 7:00 sharp. But I wanted to get there a little earlier so I could get a good parking spot and wander around seeing where everything was. I decided on my skinny blue jeans, black Chuck Tailors', and my Megadeth T-shirt I got from their show the other night. "Okay mom, I'm off" I said to her as I gave her a hug and a kiss "Goodbye dear, have a good day" she said with a warm smile as I walked out of the front door into the cool spring Belleville air. The sun always put a smile on my face. I walked towards the driver's side of my black and red 4 by 4 Honda Civic, opened the door, hopped in, threw my bag into the passengers seat, put the key in the ignition, and set off for Newark, New Jersey. I was very excited for the new school year, and pretty much the start of the newest chapter of my life.
Guys, Please read and let me know what you HONESTLY think about it! Thanks! xoxo bree3
