campus

tired eyes, dragging feet. experienced souls and newcomers all thrown together in one large plot of land. open minds and cups waiting for filling. i spy individuals napping in corners, noses hidden behind books, eyes glued to computer screens. as many in the hall as in the classrooms. scattered people avoiding eye contact. its a first-day kind of day for sure. the frostbit air gushes through the big glass doors as they open, chilling those near by and each chair slowly becoming occupied. wondering, wandering minds. 'how will i fare these next few months?' what friends will i make, who will i meet, type pondering. lounging on a circular couch to myself. ...and this is only the beginning.
