Making it though the long lines verything is final ly ready. All personal possessions have been packed into 10 boxes and are waiting to be loaded into the car for the big move. Parents start the trip early so you aren't late for school. All the running around has been tiring but. the mind won't go to sleep. It was too busy thinking of all the experiences college will bring. Once at RU. the lines to get into the dorm were incredibly, almost in conceivably, long. Dad complained about the lack of parking and mom recited every item that was forgotten. The day was frustrating because it took so long to get unpacked. This meant time taken away from visting friends and seeing campus again. “I arrived at 8 30 and by 8:451 was all set. clothes hung up and all. That was the easy part. said freshman Eric CAMPUS IE Johansen. Students living in dorms with only three floors were the lucky ones, but for those moving into Muse the story was quite different. I stood in line for two and a half hours and waited for the elevators. I had no choice since I was on the 13th floor, said freshman Beth Michaud. Before long it was five o'clock and time for Mom and Dad to leave. Everything was moved in and the room looked pretty good, even though changes were made once the upperclassmen rooms were looked at and copied. The walk back to the car didn't seem to go fast enough but. in a special way everyone wanted it to last a year. Mom tried not to cry while Dad slipped a twenty in a pocket while giving a big hug to say good bye. Waving vigorously as they drove away it was hard to believe it was finally the beginning of the year. by Susette Ritenour M Campus Life
