When I started college I had barely heard of the internet…I had never heard of Windows for that matter. I was still mashing around with DOS code. And that was only 1993. I’m actually glad I didn’t have that or else I would have failed.

Yes the first day of college…unlike you I was not excited. I was going across the country (because my parents told me I had to) and most of my friends were staying in state. I graduated in a class of 75 and had grown up with most of them my entire life! And I went from a school of about 500, to a school with about, oh, say 30,000. It was a HUGE adjustment, but I am SO glad that I did it!! I ended up loving it! But the first day for me was scary :)

I love reading your school day stories!!

Hey, I was really getting into your story, and now it’s to be continued? {sigh}

I never left home to go to college. There was an IU campus not too far away, so I lived at home. I’m such a homebody anyway, I’m afraid I would’ve been homesick.
