Can you share some memorable college move in day stories?

Sure. My last day of college was filled with mixed emotions. We were all saying goodbye to friends we had made over the years. I saw some people crying, others hugging tightly. There was this one couple who had been dating since freshman year. They were taking pictures everywhere, trying to capture the last moments together on campus.

Sure. I recall that on my first day, I met my roommate for the first time. He was from a different state and had a completely different background from me. But we instantly clicked when we realized we both loved the same kind of music. We ended up spending the whole first day exploring the campus together and sharing stories about our hometowns.

One interesting story is when my friend moved into his dorm. He had so many boxes that it took him three trips from the car to his room. And he accidentally dropped a box of his precious books on the stairs. Another is about a girl who found out her roommate was from the same small town as her. They became best friends instantly on move in day.

Sure. A guy brought a really old typewriter for some reason. He was so proud of it. But when he was setting it up on his desk, he accidentally knocked it over and keys flew everywhere. He spent the whole day trying to put the keys back.

A young woman moved into her college housing and found that the mattress on her bed was completely stained. It looked like there had been some sort of liquid spill that had never been cleaned. She was horrified and had to fight with the housing office to get a new mattress. In the meantime, she had to sleep on the floor because she couldn't bear to touch the old one. This whole process was really frustrating for her.

Sure. There was a pair of friends in college. One was majoring in art and the other in science. They seemed to have very different interests at first. But they found that they both loved hiking. So they would often go on hikes together during weekends. They shared their dreams, fears, and joys during those hikes, and their friendship grew stronger. It shows that friendship can cross different fields of study.

There was this philosophy professor. He didn't just lecture from the textbook. Instead, he would start every class with a thought - provoking question like 'What if we could live forever?' and then let the students debate for the whole class. It really got everyone thinking deeply about philosophical concepts.

There was this father who was a veteran. On Fathers Day, his community honored him with a special ceremony. His children were so proud. He told stories of his service to his kids that day, which was a really special Fathers Day.

At a field day I attended, the egg - and - spoon race had an interesting turn. A girl was so focused on not dropping her egg that she didn't notice the boy in front of her had dropped his. She stepped on it and slipped a bit but managed to keep her own egg on the spoon and continued the race. It was a moment full of surprise and laughter.

On my first college day, I was really excited to make new friends. I saw a group of people chatting and laughing near the cafeteria. I went up to them, ready to introduce myself, but in my nervousness, I tripped over my own feet and landed right in front of them. They all burst out laughing, but it actually broke the ice and we became friends later.
