Advice From The Experts

I asked for some college advice from Will and Audge today...

Audrey: "Don't be afraid to tell people no. Like if your roommate makes a mess in your room, just say 'Hey, I keep my side clean'. Or if a guy asks you out, just say no. Don't tell him 'we can just be friends'. Say no."

Will: "Thou shouldest not smoke pot, and thou shall keep thy dorm room clean."

So characteristic of them.

Three Days

Three days of home sweet home. Time passes far too quickly; my mommy tells me that often. Perhaps it's okay that I feel ripped in two. Half is quite excited to step off the hardwood floor I've played on, ate on, slept on, most of my life and explore new nooks and crannies. The other half clings to the floorboards--like a child with a fever, the coolness is soothing, the boards strong and grounding, the hum of life buzzing through the woodwork puts the mind at ease.

Pain. Lots of pain.

Does reading your own writing always produce as much flinching and gritting of teeth as this? Oye. It's too much.
