My New Life

I was so nervous my first day of college.  I could not sleep the night before so I was extremely tired when my alarm went off in the morning.  It was a bad start to a stressful day already.  When I got to school I could not find a parking spot.  I had scoped out the campus before school started but did not plan for all the other students that would be there before I arrived.  My palms then started to sweat, I tried to breathe slowly then realized I did not remember where my first class was located.  I was not even sure what I was going to do.  My heart started pounding like it was going to launch out of my chest at any moment.  I didn't know anyone on campus and had no idea where I was going.  I started sweating my forehead looked like Niagra Falls all of the sudden I couldn't hear anything but the thumping of my heart.  I started looking for a bathroom as my stomach started to churn.  As I looked up I noticed that I was in front of the building where my first class was located.  I took another deep breath wiped my forehead and said a small prayer.  I then opened the door and began my new life.
