Hannah left her apartment and stood on the sidewalk, it was a beautiful day in February and she was on her way to her first day of college. It was the first day of spring semester and she hoped that there would be no surprising spring storms pop up bringing the gusting wind and rain with it. Being the first day of very nice weather, she can finally wear shorts, and Hannah felt more alive than she had in a long time. The sun was out and she was on her way to start her future, she could not wait to sit in class and use her new text books and pens and pencils, and feel the class room computer keys underneath her finger tips as she typed out an essay. One of the busy people rushing their way to work bumped into her on the sidewalk and she realized that she had been standing there in the way. Hannah began to walk down the sidewalk, and felt the cool wind of a breeze tickle her face and at the same time felt the warmth of the sun on her back, it felt so good to know that spring was finally here, and had come early to her small town of Cedarpoint, South Carolina. It seems that everyone knew that spring was finally here; as she passed on house she saw a woman out already tearing up her flower beds and releasing the smells of musty plants and fresh dirt into the air. Hannah, envious of the woman, wished for her own house instead of an apartment so that she could have her own flower beds. As she drew closer to the local University, only a short walk from her own apartment, she passed a dorm and heard a loud combination of men and women talking, and loud music playing. Sometimes Hannah wishes she herself could live in a dorm, but it is just too expensive and she values the fact that she can be by herself, it saves on money and many headaches. Walking past another open door of a house, she smelled food cooking and in response to her growling stomach, realized that she herself had missed breakfast. With a sigh Hannah realized it was going to be a long morning, it would not be until after her first three classes that she would be able to get some food.
