Anti-Fan Service

Last year I left for college August 14th. Classes didn't start till the next week and I spent the most part of the time in between being lonely and unhappy. The rest of my first semester in Arizona was pretty much the same. Lonely, isolated, boring. I got along well with my roommate, but we didn't really have to many common interests and I drank way too much.

My third week, I ran into someone I knew from high school, and was invited to a party. I don't remember any of the night, but I do remember being woken up the next morning by some girl I had never met before in a room I had never seen and being kicked out because her parents were coming the in the next half hour. Hung over, I stumbled into the elevator room. The elevator was broken and my phone wasn't getting any reception. To make matters worse the door locked behind me. After about an hour of loudly knocking on the door, someone finally opened it and I left through the fire escape.

Now you might be thinking "holy crap, that's a fucking hilarious story" as people commonly do when they hear about someone doing incredibly stupid shit when they're drunk. That sort of thing happened very typically that semester. Five days a week, I was a quiet, studious freshman. On Friday and Saturday, I did incredibly stupid things and didn't remember any of it in the morning. This became a routine.

After a good three months, I was able to return to the east coast for Thanksgiving. That was what I consider the end of first semester. There was a 13 day period after that where I had to go back but it was really nothing. That was my first trip home and I won't ever forget the relief I felt after getting out of the plane and seeing my parents and walking back into my house and into my old room. Great feeling.

I spent an entire school year waiting for this. Umass Amherst. None of this "its just over the horizon" crap, its only a few hours away.

So this is it.
