The emotions of awe and frustration had vanished, but a certain excitement was still there— the excitement of returning. They had missed the rolling old campus, the crowded grill, and the familiar faces. The joy of renewing old acquaintances and re-living past expe- riences added to their happiness.

With parental advice still ringing in their ears, they soon found that college life was not something that could be explained or imagined. The reality of accepting responsibilities and making decisions proved to be an entirely new experience in living and learning. The first day consisted of meeting equally-anxious roommates, unpacking stuffed suitcases, and adding personality to bare rooms.
