Have you ever missed something, someone, or some place so much you wish you could go back and relive those times? I know the feeling all too well. Oh how I miss Howard University. I miss the parties and the atmosphere there; the education, ehh not so much. The education is trash but I'm not going to get into that now..maybe at a later date. From the time I moved in to the time I left I had so much fun my freshman year of college.
Move in day was bitter sweet. I finally was settled in at the new place I would call home for several months. My whole family and my best friend came with me on move in day. I was the first to move in within my suite and room. Then about an hour later my roommate moved in. In the beginning, I was so excited to meet her. I had aspirations of her being pretty and we could go out together and book guys together. My aspirations were very short lived once she stepped through the doorway of our room. SHE WAS HIDEOUS. I was so upset because she legit killed my dreams. I gave her a half of smile because she ruined my whole mood. After she and I settled in completely, it was time for our family to go. As we said our sad goodbyes, tears made their grand appearance in our eyes but we didn't dare let a tear fall. Alas, we were free and on our own. THE TURN UP HAD BEGUN.
Move in day was the start of freshman week. The parties were LIT the whole week. The first day my roommate and I went up to the yard and it was like a party up there. The DJ was in front of an old brown building that had huge windows, we saw everyone walking around mingling and dancing. Then we saw the brothers of Omega Psi Phi and Kappa Alpha Psi having a stroll off battle in the middle of the crowd. The Kappa's looked so good strolling in their red varsity jackets and the Que's (Omega Psi Phi) looked good too in their purple and gold outfits. Oh, fair warning to the ladies, beware of those men who are involved in greek life. Be smart, and always go out with multiple friends. Do not let one of your friends wander off with them or any man.
It's the night of move in day. There were endless moves for the night. It was so hard to choose which party to go to. My roommate and I decided to go to the 90's party. We both got dressed up for it. I had on pink and sliver high top reeboks with slouch socks, black leggings, a white Tommy Hilfiger sports bra, and an overside pink jacket. My hair was up in a stylish 90 up-do. I was set for the night, and I looked cute. No one could tell me anything that night. My roommate she didn't really pull off the 90s look at all. I was appalled but I let her do her because I was ready to go. We called an uber, and headed to the party.
As we got out of the uber, we could hear the music jumping from outside the club. The line was the pre-turn up for the actual party inside. When we got in, we heard all the 90s music such as "This is how we do it" by Montell Jordan and "Poison" by Bell Biv Devoe. We could see everyone doing the Kid n Play and the running man. This night was fun. I didn't know Howard's parties were like this. I knew I could get used to it. By the time the party was over, the cute hairstyle that I had when we went inside the party was looking like a bunnies puffball tail. At the time I didn't care how my hair looked because I had a lot of fun at that party. My roommate and I got in the room around 4:30am and we crashed.
After my first night, I knew I was going to have a lot of fun at Howard. As the months went on the fun increased but I had to leave because I needed a more vigorous education and Howard didn't give me any financial aid money. I just know freshman year was the best year of my life. College is what you make it. Always live in the moment and have fun. College years are the best years of your life make them memorable because you won't get them back.
