MIA The mild drop in the temperature and the slight strong wind created the perfect season to start my college life. I am moving away from my lovey dovey house to I-don't-know-what-kind-of hostel room for the next three precious years of life. I feel so nervous and excited at the same time. Well, I am sure I am not alone, so let's stop mesmerizing and let's get ready for moving out of my sweet little bubble of paradise. Whoa! Falling after the first step out of the said paradise isn't one of the luckiest signs of the universe for me, but we'll get through it, won't we? Hell yeah, we will.(Don't mind my questions and answers. I love talking to myself.) Okay, so after a not-so-smooth ride to the university and maybe or maybe not spilling cold coffee over somebody's pet(I was actually too embarrassed to even turn around to check) , I am finally here with all my rags and gold from my belongings. The feeling of "You're on your own now" is shouting at its maximum capacity inside me at the moment. Oh my God! Fingers crossed! Do not give me a shrewish roommate, pleaseee. Well, I guess I am a little bit more excited about university than others because, as it turns out, I am the first person in my room, which almost everyone considers lucky because, well, you get to choose your side, heh. That might not be the case for me because I am indecisive by nature. Okay, so a window above your bed should be good, right? What if the sun blazes too much during the summers and also the noise from the outside? I guess the other one is better, but what about the view? I most certainly do NOT want to spend the rest of my year staring at a dull, blank and mundane life. Damn! That would be so depressing. No, I will tolerate the sun, the noise , the dust and whatever this universe throws at me through that window. I will not let my year go by in a depressing mode. Well to be honest, I absolutely hate excessive positivity, but as someone with so many negative thoughts, the excessive and sometimes a bit too often annoying positivity is the only way for me as of now, so...bear with me(pretty please?) Well, I do like the view, so I guess this is it:) The organising part is not at all easy. All the youtubers and influencers make it look so easy(maybe it actually is easy or at least interesting for them. Oh God stop thinking everyone is faking things seriously!) Okay, so not only was my roommate a little less enthusiastic about starting college life than me, it seems it is someone who just doesn't care because the day has come to an end now with maximum students in their room and she is nowhere, whoever she is. That's fine, I guess. I decided to make good use of the window and the new scenery (which I will soon get used to and it won't feel as beautiful as now:( ) and sat with my playlist and just silently living in the moment. When I said I am ready for anything that the universe throws at me through the window, I certainly didn't expect a freaking face! I mean, just imagine this, you are in your hostel room of your new college, it's evening time and you are listening to Sam Kim enjoying the beautiful view and suddenly, from outside of the window, a face pops up smiles at you and the human who thought it was an exciting idea to climb to their hostel room climbs inside and apparently is your roommate. After almost giving me a heart attack, the girl stands up and cheerfully introduces herself as Sofie. She was apparently late due to some huge family drama and she couldn't collect the keys on time but managed to find the room, so here she was. That is one crazy story and here I thought I am the craziest. I can see this year being one hell of a ride. KEVIN Never in my dreams could I imagine that I would be this uninterested in starting my college life. If it were a year ago, I would be jumping up and down in my mind, planning parties ending with crazy hangovers, but life gifted me with a present, a very unpleasant one. As my father says, just get through it. There will be better days and I am very foolishly holding on to that hope. I arrived at college so early that I doubt that I may have been the first one to whom they allotted the room. This was not the result of my excitement but of my desperation to avoid people as much as possible. I wish I didn't have to share my room, it is just annoying to imagine spending a whole year with a stranger in my room. The day passed in settling the room without any stranger showing up to my room so that's a good sign, I guess. I retired early as I was up before even a rooster so I was more tired than a donkey by this point. I do feel my fate has been interchanged with someone because as it turns out, I can't even sleep in peace. No sooner than my head hit the pillow, a loud bang on my door startled me up which was loud enough to wake up the whole city had it been sleeping. But the city never sleeps and my life can not seem to stay peaceful. Weaponizing myself with the only shoe I could find, I opened the door stanced like a ninja.And here he was: my roommate for the year! Wow, I did not expect such an entry. He is late obviously and he wasn't given the key to this room for that very reason. Meaning I am sheltering a student who illegally sneaked in. Sounds great! Oh my God, I need a stop button with this tape recorder because for some reason he cannot stop rambling on how he and his twin sister went through all the challenges of life in today and that's why they were late. Does he even consider it as a possibility that I do not care? I can hardly keep my eyes open but his voice is so full of energy, it's painfully reminding me of how I used to be. I did drift in the dreamland soon enough after almost hearing about his whole lineage and their descendence on the earth. I wish I don't have to go through this for the whole year.Ugh!
