Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...

This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.

We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.

That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.

Pico De Gallo

It seems trivial now that i worried so much about getting along with my room mates as we sit and bond with chatty girl talk. But upon first arriving i was greeted by two wacky suitemates that only exhaserbated my nervous jitters of the first day of college.  I worried night and day about how i was going to deal with the apparent "triscuit monster" (my room mate that decided to cover our floor in broken triscuits ) and the other room mate that wouldn't stop apologizing for everything. But all it took was one night out and some extra sour cream on our burritos at a small hole in the wall restaurant on south street to start the understanding and stop the judging. Now there isn't a time we don't joke around and accept each other quirks as just that, part of their personality that goes unchanged and influences me to be myself. i sat down to write this blog on my bed while my sick room mate sneezed and coughed beside me, but before i even started the first sentence my room was suddenly filled with laughter.The apologizing room mate just got back from professing her love to a boy she has known all her life and found out it was not unrequited. We now share stories of our past and hopes for our future. I hope the sour cream and burritos never run out.
