Embracing Tuskegee: My Transition from City to Country

I am so ready for college. I could not wait for this moment to get here and it was finally here! In the year of 2016, I graduated from Community School of Davidson. I had applied to every school you could think of (Norfolk State, Spelman,Howard, and Tuskegee) just to name a few and decided to go with my first choice Tuskegee University. This was weird because I am a city girl and Tuskegee University is in the country.
Tuskegee University is in Tuskegee, Alabama a small town with nothing there. It is filled with brick buildings on top of hills which lay on serene greenery. Tuskegee is a small institution compared to others and I was instantly attracted to the homey vibe I received there when I visited.
As soon as I got out of High School,

I went downstairs to request a new roommate and the lady told me that I had to wait. At that moment, I tried to find the bright side of this negative situation. So, I thought maybe since she is a volleyball player she will always be at practice more than in our dorm. Before I saw how dirty she was, in my mind, I planned for us to be bestfriends. I am the only child and I thought we would do everything together. But, since she was unsanitary this caused conflict.
Days passed and my mom had to leave. My bestfriend and her mom headed back early that Sunday and my mom left that night. I cried for a couple of days because college would be the first time I would ever be on my own without my mom. I was not used to my mom being so far away (six hours is further than people think). But, I eventually stopped. I met new people everyday; mainly from California and Texas. I developed great friendships, but my roommate and room got worst. I had approached her about her unsanitary ways several times. At first, I approached her politely about the situation and there was no change. As a result, I had to change my tone of voice. Brianna seemed like she did not hear me and brushed it

One of my close friend, Brooke Watts, we did everything together. But, our dorm building got worst. It was filled with problems, our washer was broke and flooded certain areas and tons of other issues occurred. I just know it was time for me to leave.
Tuskegee was not what I hoped for. I thought I would be there for four years and have the time of my life. Everything that the campus said it would be like, it was not. It was hard to get groceries, off campus and the mall was two hours away. Pitiful!
I was ready to come home! Most of my friends were ready to leave. I had juniors and seniors say to me “get out of here when you have the chance to, I should have when I had the chance.” That is exactly what I did, they did not have to say it twice. My mom came to get me October 28, 2016. When my mom pulled up, my face lightened up. I was thrilled and exotic. I could not wait to get home. I did not appreciate Charlotte as much as I did at this moment.
Driving back to North Carolina, I was disappointed. My excitement about college went away. But, as soon as I got home, I started at Central Piedmont Community College. I was not given up. I am a Chemistry major and have no time to
