First Year of College

You wave as your parents pull away in their SUV, leaving you standing in small crowd of strangers in front of your new dorm complex. You have to admit the moment is a bit emotional, and when the vehicle turns out of sight you realize just how much your life has changed compared to even a week ago.

You purposely chose to go to college at Liberty State, in part because of its stellar academic reputation, in part because of its liberalism, and in part because it is almost 15 hours away from your hometown. No one else you knew out of your graduating class of 600 is entering Liberty this year, nor anyone who has graduated within the last few years from your high school. This is a chance to re-make yourself into whoever you want to be. Liberty is a very large university, with plenty of opportunities to learn, explore, party, make friends, and... well... get laid.

You check the time. It's almost 6:00 pm. The first orientation event starts at 7:30 in the nearby green space, so you have some time to kill.
