Leaving the nest.....................

Did I want to go to college??????? Yes and No.  I actually wanted to go to design school, but my dad said, NO Ma'am, you are going to college.  Well actually he said, "not on my dime." So, I found myself applying to colleges very late.  I decided that if I had to go to college I was going to go to a HBCU.  I really wanted to go to Fort Valley State (and I did but after I tried out Savannah State First) but my brother was there so I opted for Savannah State instead (Real Bad Choice).

I was so anxious for them to leave so I could be GROWN! But, as soon as they left, I wanted to run after their car.  No mom, no dad............ what was I to do??????????? Trust me, it didn't take long for me to figure out what to do......

Within the first few weeks, I had made a good friend who was a local, she lived off campus and had a car! Ching................. She was a little plump and liked to eat just like me, Cha Ching!!!!  I had met a guy who became my boyfriend, he fed me too........ Then, there was the snack bar, and the dining hall.  Kroger and Burger King were within walking distance, and I had made several buddies who liked to walk with me to both places. 

Things at Savannah State were going pretty well. My grades were good, my roommate (who is still one of my dearest friends) and I got alone great, I had a boyfriend, and I had made a lot of new friends. Not to mention, two of my good friends from home came to Savannah State as well.  Things were on the up and up until......................................................................
