As for my college experience so far, everything pretty much sucks for me. I dress a little blacker, look a little shorter, skinny but tough, and supposedly my mom loves to tell me I have more curves than a coke bottle but I don't show them off enough.

It was darker in here than it had been before, but the darkness was a blessing. My head was pounding, I was terribly thirsty, and nearly every part of my body ached.
