School was Scary

Contributed by Cameron Hodge




I have no idea what to expect when I got accepted to Columbia University. I mean, obviously I was very excited since it was my dream school and one of the top journalism programs in the whole country, but I was terrified to move to New York all on my own. Over the summer, I did some research on what I would need, picked up a futon, got clear from clearwirelessinternet.net signed up for a specific dorm building. I was ready and raring to go, but by the time the moving van made it all the way to the city, I was exhausted! Thankfully, my random roommate was amazing and helped me move all my boxes in and even convinced me to go out for dinner that night, despite how tired I was. I'm glad I did, because I met my boyfriend David while we were out at dinner! He's made moving to a new city way less scary, and it's so much fun to have a native New Yorker as my personal tour guide.
