Back at SCHOOL

I just got DROVE back to school. Yes I said drove, and my does it feel weird. I walk through the halls of Spellman and I'm seeing new faces, and noticing that old faces still have yet to return. It feels weird to walk up and down the stairs, like this has become a foreign world, a whole new place once again. It feels good to be back with the girls and all of the others. This semester is going to be a challenge for me on many different levels. But I have faith in myself and a good group of supportive friends who will help see me through, and I will do the same for them.
I opened my room door to emptiness. No noise, null and void sounds filled the rooms vacancy. It felt naked without presence. My roommate had not arrived, and she still hasn't but I await the moment when will reunite. Although we are polar opposites we get along just fine, except for an occasional discrepancy here and there, but thats what roommates do right? I began to unload the my full bags, with the help of my dad. One by one I took each item out of the bag and placed it in its new home for the next four months. I was actually a bit sad to leave home. Although home is only 20 minutes away, I will miss the family environment that it has and my moms good cooking. But I have to come from underneath that shell and be my own person. Be the person that my parents raised me to be.
With every knock on my door from each of my friends my heart began to race and my mind filled with thoughts such as this, " I hope everything stays the same." Although change is inevitable, this change is feared the most. I don't want a new group of friends or to grow distant between one of my friends now. For once in my life I actually fit in and I don't want to be kicked out. But with every hug and every greeting, I began to feel at home again even with my fear. We stayed up all night just like old times. We shared stories about our breaks so that made it fun. We played music and laughed at each others jokes. My fear was turned into joy instantaneously.
Although I still have that bit of fear I'm looking forward to this semester. Yes it will be different but it will be for the better and not for the worst.
