Well I Guess This is Growing Up

I'm sitting on the cold floor of a quiet hallway filled with new faces. I quickly scan them and I notice the guy standing across from me isn't so bad looking. Today I start college, *insert sarcasm*how exciting, I know. My professor, who rocks a long curly pony-tail rolls into the building on a bike. Well, this is .... different. It doesn't take long to realize he has that kind of sense of humor you laugh at even know it's not genuinely funny. Okay, enough being descriptive. I'm going to Cal Poly Pomona and today was actually my second day. I got comfortable really fast and even talked to a few people. I take the bus there which actually isn't so bad. Unfortunately I got stuck in this math class because I didn't test so well on some irrelevant state testing. There's a white girl in my class who is wearing one of those workout lounge suits that only usually come in pink. The guy behind me is wearing a Metallica shirt and I realize maybe we can't be friends after the awkward "thank you" I receive after complimenting him. This is just my first class right? Anywho, the topic of school is exactly interesting to me so I understand if you read this and are now thinking "..okay...cool" I'll make another entry about school when it's worth mentioning but thanks for reading!
