FIRST DAYS STORY BY TURNER SPARKS Hot, muggy August days prove to be a real bonding experience for overweight dads and underweight freshmen, as they struggle to fit a TV, a mini-fridge and anything else they can into dorm rooms smaller than cells at Alcatraz. I remember thinkin there was no wa I was oin to fit all m stuff into such a ' V V . l . h I h .l a tiny place, said Andrew Servia. Billy Geraghty felt the same. itEveryone was looking at me because I had my skateboard, my surfboard, and my fishing pole. I was asked if I was going to college or going on vacation. I said both. But once the rooms are settled and parents leave campus, the party begins. My parents took off, so I decided to go to the pool to get some sun and check out the girls, Geraghty said. Meghan Deehan also knew it wouldn't take long to find something to do. There were people on my floor passing out flyers for parties so we checked them out, she said. No matter where the day took them, everyone agreed that after a long day and even longer night, they were ready to get the semester started. PHOTO BY MEGIN BOYLESHBIS STAFF KEEP PUSHING.
