ode to the fresh meat.

dear lost, confused and scared freshman,

You lost your key. And after you finished freaking out about it, I got you a new one. But you left me Mommy and Daddy’s number to call instead of yours. And when I called to tell you your new key was here, Mommy answered the phone and got scared because she thought something had happened to her precious child. So, let’s do everyone a favor here. Maybe start being a teensy bit responsible. Start giving out YOUR number sometimes, okay? You DO go to college, after all.

muchas muchas muchas gracias,

older, yet still sometimes lost,
confused and scared college student
