Brittany awoke early Friday morning, anxious to get to campus. She hoped she would get there before her roommate, whoever she was, so Brittany could pick which bed she wanted and stuff. It would also give her some time to unpack before her roommate got there so both girls weren't trying to unpack at the same time. She hurriedly went to her bathroom and showered before straightening her auburn hair and putting on make up. She brushed her teeth, and dressed in a t-shirt that had had a dinosaur that said " 'Rawr' means I love you in dinosaur'," skinny jeans, and gray Converses. She put her nerdy glasses on that she absolutely adored over her hazel eyes. The over sized glasses were definitely her style.
She ran downstairs and began shoveling her breakfast in her mouth. "Slow down, sweetie. Even if you don't get there within the next five minutes, the school will still be there," her mother said while chuckling. "I know, Mom! But I'm just so excited!"
Later that morning, the two of them pulled up in front of the dormitory and started unloading the car. Brittany got the key from the front desk, and made her way to her new home, if you could call it that. The dorm was just one room, with two raised beds. There was a desk and a dresser underneath each bed. There was also two stand up dressers for hanging up clothes. She couldn't wait to start decorating the place, as it was very bland and white. Brittany knew she would need to check with her roommate first, to find out what kinds of things she liked. She noticed there was no one else there; no bags or anything.
Brittany said her goodbyes to her mother, and both of them were crying. With one last hug, her mother left, leaving Brittany alone to unpack everything herself. The first thing Brittany did was place a picture of her and her dad. Brittany's father had passed away when she was little, so it was just the two of them. Her father had life insurance, which would pay for Brittany's tuition, so she really didn't have to worry about that. After, she made the bed up; she had chosen neon colors for bedding. The comforter was neon pink, with blue, orange, and green pillows. She was thankful that there were ladders leading up to the beds, because at 5'3", she would have never been able to get up onto it. Once that was completed, she started unpacking her clothes, hoping to be finished before her roommate showed up.

Christian didn't wake up until late morning. He was not a morning person. Period. He would much rather stay up half the night and sleep the day away. He ran his hand through his brown hair and got up out of bed. He was surprisingly going to miss home. He was definitely going to miss all of his friends. He went to take a shower and dressed in a blue t-shirt, blue jeans, and black Vans. He went downstairs and ate breakfast.
He noticed a note from his parents saying how much they were going to miss them. He knew they had to work today, and couldn't ask off. He had already said goodbye to each of them the night before. Christian put the dishes in the dishwasher, and grabbed his wallet and keys. He headed out the door, and made the two hour drive to the college.
He pulled into the parking lot, and put his black sedan in park. He took some things from the trunk and headed to the dormitory. He got his key from the front desk, and made his way to his dorm. He didn't see anyone there yet when he walked in, so he just placed all of his things on one side of the room. It took him a couple trips to get everything in the dorm and looked around at the room. I have way too much shit, he thought. He sighed, and began putting everything away. He had chosen black and red bedding, and put the sheets and the comforter on the bed. He put some of clothes away, and put the TV up in the room. He hoped his roommate liked XBox, which was one of Christian's passions.
He hoped he would finish in time to go get dinner or something at the common eating area.
