Drexel move-in

The few weeks before I moved into my dorm at Drexel University were simultaneously extremely boring and anxious. I am from Timonium MD, a northern suburb of Baltimore city. Almost all of the colleges from around me that all of my other friends were going to had already started weeks before move-in day at Drexel. So since most of my friends were gone, I was pretty bored.
That also meant that I had a lot of time to sit around and think about what starting college would be like. I’m kind of person that always likes to have a plan of what I’m going to be doing and college was something that I had no previous experiences to relate it to. The closest thing I’ve done to going away to college was going to summer camp with the Boy Scouts for a week for a few summers. A week is considerably shorter than nine months.
Move in was a lot of fun. My roommate had been in our suite alone for a few days before I moved in because he took an early materials science course so he was happy to have everyone else around. I am in the Race street residence hall, which has suite style dorms for mostly honors freshmen. I’m not in the honors college but apparently they had extra space for non-honors freshmen so I got in anyway.
I feel very lucky because the Race dorms are very new and quite nice. They are suite style with two bedrooms with two people in each room and a common area with a couch, chairs, a fridge, a sink and a bit of counter space. My roommates and I are working on decorating our walls with posters so the walls aren’t so bare. A few of the ones we have so far are from Pulp Fiction, The Dark Knight, Sin City and The Simpsons.
So far college has been a lot of fun. I’ve met a bunch of new people and learned a bit already, mostly about how to live away from my family and their support. All of my classes that I take later that are more specific to my major seem like they will be really interesting and I’m already thinking about where I want to do my Co-Op internships.

Also, spore is an awesome game.
