My first day of college was not the slightest bit of what I thought was going to happen. It was move-in day and my mother and I have just found my room. I call my roommate whom I have not met yet and get the deal on when he is going to show up, what he has with him, and whether he needs any help. In the process of walking up to the dorm building two guys approached me and asked if I needed any help moving my things into my room. I was totally psyched and said sure because I was lazy then and did not want to have to move all of my things on my own. My mother pulled up in my vehicle with all of my things and we all brought my stuff up to my new room. The two guys were the recruitment chairman and president of the fraternity I later come to join. They invite me to a Braves game on Saturday and leave to go help and find other guys. My roommate shows up after that and my family meets his. We talk for a little bit and set everything up then our parents leave and we talk more about our classes. I learn about his major and that it's the same as mine. We go down to the lobby of the dorm to meet the others because the Residence Life is holding a party for everyone to get to know each other. In the middle of this party a guy I met before move-in day calls me and invites me to a concert that night right then and there. The party by the way was a total bust and was not great at all because the residence life was trying to make us collect names and majors of other people and once we got ten we were able to get some pizza. I give my roommate my card of names on it so he can get some free pizza and I sneak out the back away from the Resident Assistants and meet my new friend. We go to an awesome show and stay out till about 1 in the morning. I come back later and find my roommate still awake so I just get on my laptop. I sit there feeling the new freedom I get from being off in college and thoroughly enjoy it. I realize that a lot of other people are also still awake so I go out into my hall and meet all of my neighbors who some end up becoming fellow brothers in my fraternity but others end up joining a different fraternity but we still remain okay friends. I end up finally going to sleep that night around 4 AM to be ready for the next day and first day of classes to come. The first day of college was a new experience and was a once in a lifetime event.
