College Life....

In August 2006, I left my haven in Brooklyn, NY and crossed the Holland Tunnel into New Jersey to start my life as a university student. After fighting with my parents, I finally decided to attend Georgian Court University, an all girls university in Lakewood, NJ. My best friend at the time Patrica was going to be my room mate. I cannot tell you how excited I was to get away from my parents, I couldn't wait to see their headlights retreating out my life. College life was wonderful to me. No curfews , no nagging parents, parties that I could now go to freely, I felt for the first time in my life that I was living, that I had finally found the freedom that I have been yearning for. However, as with most people who go away from home for the first time, it got to my head a little and my grades fell in the first semester... that was a wake up call to me, and I quickly got back on track the next semester. My days at GCU was filled with classes, hanging with my best friend, walking around Lakewood and exploring the campus. My nights were filled with the occasional party, friends, mostly my guy friends from Brooklyn stopping by to visit, music blasting from our room and me and Patricia dancing around acting a fool. I never did make a whole lot of friends in college, then again I never was one with a lot of friends to begin with. My circle in college consisted of Patricia, Alleyne ( another friend from high school) and my self. We affectionately started calling our group PDA. There was always the occational fight with another clique but that was expected in a school filled with nothing but girls. The only other friend that I had outside this circle was a girl named Shannon. Shannon... boy how do I explain her?? lol. She was a year ahead of me and I really don't even know how we started talking. Her clique was called MSA and a lot of trouble started when MSA started Hanging out with PDA. The girlfriends of MSA didn't like us one bit and we got approached from time to time to leave their women alone lol.  She was the first girl I ever kissed and I guess I loved her in my own way. We still talk to this day and she will always hold a place in my heart. There Isn't really much more I can write about my college days because I only completed a year and a half, before my life went in the total opposite direction.
