College

Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays

I decided to go to a small college in the middle of nowhere. I wanted to be far enough away from my family to feel like I was becoming independent, but close enough to go home if I needed to. The college I found was exactly what I was looking for. I moved into a small one bedroom apartment and set up all of my utilities. Although my mom helped me set everything up, all of the utilities were in my name. That alone already made me feel more grown up. I needed to find internet that was available in my area. I met one of my neighbors in the parking lot and asked her was she used for internet. She told me to get wild blue satellite internet service. She said that she uses it and she is able to do everything she needs for school. I decided to go ahead and have it set up. My classes do not start for a few more days, so I have plenty of time to finish decorating my apartment and figure out where the closest grocery store is. I am so excited about being in college.
