Hamilton's thoughts
First day of college, and I'm still halfway through paying my tuition fees. When I walked into the building the first thing I saw was a huge front desk with a small lady at the front, stapling papers.
"Uh, hello! I was told this is where I should check in? My name is Alexander Hamilton and I think I need to check into my dorm?"
It takes her a second to respond and set down the papers
"One second, I need to check the system"
She sighs, slowly and quietly, but noticable in the big quiet and echoing room. The computer next to her, that I didn't even notice, turns on and startles my nervous self a bit. After a moment of what feels like forever, of loud clicks and the color on the screen changing, she hands me a piece of paper with my name and schedule on it with a pair of keys with the number 1777 on them.
"These will be your dorm keys, there's two of them just in case you lose one or your roommate looses theirs. This paper shows you your information, such as what your majoring and minoring in with you schedule for the whole week. If you need anything else, like a map or want to sign up for something, you can talk to me or whoever is currently at the reception desk."
I nod, eager to leave and try my dorm to see what it looks like.
"Actually, could I get a map right now too?"
"Sure"
She hands me a second piece of paper, this one is color coded andis a bit bigger, and I noticed that there is a back side. I look where the dorms are in the second wing (which is what my key says) and start to head there so I can move in. As soon as I get into my dorm I get the impression that this was made for two people that hate each other. The room is split right down the middle, with each bed having its own little hole in the wall where you can just barely sit up. We both are going to share a room, but there's a curtain in between, most likely for when you need to change. I close the door behind me and survey my area more. To my left there's a kitchen and in between the two beds there's a window overlooking the cold winter night sky. The entire of the dorm is very dull. Basically white with a single light at the top. I flick the switch turning the light on, making it almost blind me. I wonder who my roommate is. I jump onto the bed on the left and start to unpack my essentials and do my daily handwritten journal. I stuff my journal under my bed and turn the light off to get back on my bed. I'm still in my day clothes and haven't even set up my bed yet when I nod off to sleep. I wake up soon after at around 6 in the morning. I pull out my schedule and check when breakfast is ready, 5:30-9:00, great. I pull out my laptop and get some writing done on my book and check my schedule again for every five minutes because I'm so anxious. Polisci is my first class and it's at 7, it's currently 6:00. I just realized that I'm very hungry from not eating dinner last night. I walk down to the cafeteria, map in hand. When I get to the cafeteria I see that there's a chalkboard board with rainbow writing on it.

So many grammer and spelling issues, but at least I thought to bring my papers just in case I got lost or had to do deal with something like this. I show my papers and grab as much food as I think I can eat. I sit down at a chair and read my schedule while eating my syrup with a side of waffles and fruit. Seems like there will be some time to get shopping done in between law science and philosophy, what time is it? My clock reads 6:40 and I quickly leave the room whilst putting my lunch tray in the desired spot. I walk as quick as I can to my first class, past the reception desk.
