am going to talk about the first time I went to my college.
It was 12 years ago that I graduated from high school and entered college. Because I did not do well in the college entrance exam, I could only apply for a university up north in China. And I could still remember what that day was like. It went like this.
I arrived at my dormitory quite early in the morning with all my luggage. Surprisingly, all of my roommates have arrived before me and they were all busy making beds or cleaning the dorm, so we just briefly introduced each other.
At noon, I suggested that we have lunch together and my suggestion was supported by them. Since we were just college boys, we did not have that much money to go to any fancy restaurant. Instead, we went to the dinning hall in our school where the food was awful and the decoration was rather thrifty, but I would say it was the most unforgettable meal I had during my college years.
During the meal, we got to introduce each other in details. The six of us found that we came from 4 different provinces ranging from the northernmost to the southernmost where the cultures and lifestyles are strikingly different. The conversation just went on and on.
Before we even noticed it, it was dinner time. So we ordered another round of food and continued.
That night, lying on our bed, we envisaged our college years and our future. We all had our dreams and ambitions. Those were the days of ideals. But unfortunately, through the years, some of us failed to stick to their faith and went astray.
To be 100% honest, I miss those days.
Good
