The drive to Stanford is just over an hour, and it's almost 8:00 when so arrive there. I drive up to the campus, seeing that most people are here early to unpack everything into their rooms.
I quickly find a place to park before grabbing some of my bags to go look for my room.

"Excuse me? I can't find my room." I ask a nerdy-looking guy standing in the halls.

I show him my crushed up paper and he attempts to read my sloppy writing.

"It should be right around that corner and down the hall." He answers, pushing his glasses up.

"Thanks!" I reply.

"Your welcome." he says shyly, his cheeks turning a light shade of red.

I eventually find my room and open the door to see someone (my roommate) sitting on a bed.
I walk in father too see what she looks like. She has long and wavy red hair and bright green eyes. Her freckles are very noticeable on her pale skin.
She turns around and shuts the book she was reading.

"Oh hello..You must be my roommate!"
she says, smiling. Her teeth are sparkling from how white they are.

"Hey! My name's Grace." I reply shyly, since my "people skills" are "rusty".

"I'm Charlie. Nice to meet you!" Charlie answers, unexpectedly giving me a hug. I hug her back..she already seems like the perfect roommate.

The next couple of hours I unpack my things with the help of Charlie.
Luckily, there are (although small) two beds in the room. I push one of the beds one half of the room, giving Charlie the other side for her personal space.

In my little area, I decorate the walls with posters, put my Funko Pop figures up, and my books on a little nightstand. I guess I'm pretty satisfied with what it looks like.

Now I just have to get through four years of college...
