My previous story made me feel incredibly nostalgic for the exploits and impulsivity I felt during those years. This is a memory that surprised me in a somewhat innocent way – a girl letting the nerd into her dorm room and blowing his mind in a few different ways, and him doing the same to me.

I first met him at admitted students day. I’ll be straight with you: I definitely had wandering eyes as I stepped into the large ballroom. I smiled pretty for my ID picture (and whatever “audience” I imagined I had) and found my assigned table. I don’t know why I was at his table. We weren’t the same major. Maybe it was because of what I found out later, that we were from the same state. Fate, kismet, whatever it is. We were both at the table and making small talk. Hi, Sam. That was his name. Sam from my state, curly hair, thick glasses, and a clean shave. He was only a few inches taller than me once we stood up and toured the campus, but I couldn’t look away from his strong body, clearly a guy who spent some time in the gym.
