Tibby jumped out of the cab as it pulled up to the NYU campus. Se looked around. She was here. Sure she had been to New York before, but never like this. She was living there now. She smelled the air on the streets, it smelled beautifully of...okay subway exaust... so maybe it wasn't a beautiful aroma, but still, New york is New York.

Tibby looked down at her campus map. She was in Washington Square Park. She started to walk the three blocks to the admissions building. She looked around her. There were so many unique people around her, totally willing to express their sense of style. People like Tibby.

When she arrived at the admissions building, she headed over to the registrations desk. There was a line, but she was amused by looking at the foreign things around her. Guys wearing tube socks, girls wearing cropped hats, whe loved the atmosphere. She approached the front of the line, she read the prep sign. 'Please tell the attendant you first and last name, and major in order to speed up the progress of registration.

Tibby was at the front of the line. "Tibby Rollins," she told the attendant, "Telivision and Film".

The attendant looked down at her clipboard. "I'm sorry, I don't have a Tibby Rollins listed here," she saaid lookin at Tibby from behind a pair of hideoud reading glasses.

"Oh, it's probably under Tabitha Tomko-Rollins" she told the lady.

The lady looked down at the clipboard again. "Oh yes" she said. Now all I need to see is an ID and I can give you your room key," she told her. Tibby fished her drivers license out of her wallet. She handed over the identification. The lady scanned over it. "Okay, this all looks good. Your room is in the freshman dorm, fourth floor, room 42B". Tibby smiled and headed towards the door.

Although her mother could not accompany her to RISD, Effie did. They took a taki down to the college. They looked up. There wasn't really anything special about the campus, brick buildings with a reasonably good architectual design. She recieved her room assignments earlier this month in the "Okay I am Dorm #2 in room 12A," she told Effie.

She walked up to her room. It looked as though her roomate had not yet arrived. "Good," she thought to herself, "I get first pick of the beds. She chose the one next to the window. She started to unloading her stuff into the drawers, effie looked at the things in her room. A counter, two beds, two dressers, and two desks.

"Um, Lena?' she questioned her sister.

"What?" lena replied, just continuing what she was doing.

"Where are the bathrooms?" Effie asked.

"What do you mean?" Lena said looking up. She had a worried look on her face.

"There isn't a bathroom in your room," Effie told her.

Lena looked panicked. She hadn't even considered the fact that she would have to use a public bathroom for at least the next year. "Umm.. I think its out in the hall..." she told Effie.

Bridget arrived at Brown that afternoon, it was unbelievably crowded. She was assigned to residential unit 6. Her councelor was named Angela, she was in room 24. Bridget looked around the campus lawn. There were a group of kids playing frisbee, and another group of students eating lunch on the lawn. There was girl with her textbook, studying under a tree. All the building looked old, but had a comfortable victorian architectual feeling towards them. She loved. It.

Bridget had her stuff deliveredto her dorm. She decided to kick a ball around for a while before heading up their herself. She took out the black and white ball and started kicking it around. She started dribbling it in a cirlce around the lawn she saw a tree and give it a loft toward it.

The ball didn't hit the tree. It hit a blonde boy in the head. "O my gosh are you ok!" bridget yelled as she ran over to the guy.

He rubbed his hand against his head. "I think I'll be alright. Just gonna be a little bump." he smiled at her, his blue eyes sparkling in the sun. "What's your name?" he asked her.

"Bridget," she said smiling at him.

"I'm Andrew, and I think you know my brother."

Camren mother drove her down to the Williams campus. She looked at her baby girl. A single tear rolled down her cheek. "Bye sweetie, remember to call!" she told Carmen as she pulled her suitcases out of the car.

"I will," Carmen told her. She leaned in and kissed her mother on her cheek.

They said there goodbyes and Carmen started to make her way up to the door. She already missed her friends. What was she going to do? They had neveer been this far apart for so long.

She wasn't paying attention to where she waas going. Some would call it exploring. She was hungry. She headed over to the cafeteria. Then she remembered the words of her mother. The phrase 'Carmencita don't you go eating that Cafeteria food!" her mothers voice echoed. She turned away from the cafetieria and headed towards a vending machine. Yum, at least they had chunky bars, her absolute favorite candy in the world.

He quietly popped seventy-five cents into the big black box and pressed F7. The metal ring rolled and the chunky bar fell out. She tore open the metalic pacaging and took a monsterous bite out of her chunky bar. "Mmmmm," she thought, this was going to be the sweet life.

A/N: Sorry for the current lack of Carmen. I kind of have a writers block right now but i do know what will happen.
