-
When I was s freshman in college, everything seemed to fascinate, to the very quiet classes during lectures and the humorless professors. I used to think that the professors got the 'boring' certificate along with their PhD. I also enjoyed the parties which are slightly different from highschool parties, there in college students throw their own parties unlike in my highschool. I went to a party and I met Gabriella who was my penpal over the summer. She looked better than her pictures online. She loves the moistness, dampness and calmness of rain which I found out when the rain let out its showers at the outdoor party. While the rest of us ran for sheltar, she simply stamped her legs, wiggled her body to the music still in play. Her lips let out a pretty crack, she was happy. When the rain was over, Gabriella was totally wet. She invited me to a sorority slumber the next day. The slumber was what I described as goofy, enticing and quirky, I could barely contain my excitement when we finally slept. After that slumber, Gabriella invited me to many other slumber parties, she made my freshman year beautiful. Answer the questions that follow. "When I was a freshman in college..." Means
