My parents and I arrived at my college to begin my freshman year on a Sunday afternoon after driving over 900 miles. Because I was valedictorian of my high school class and had exceptional scores, I was able to get a full scholarship to a well-known east coast university.
While I was looking forward to pursuing my academic interests, I was also looking forward to escaping from my conservative family. Even though I had a steady boyfriend for two years, I lead a rather boring existence in high school. Most of my classmates were sexually active from at least their junior year on – however, I did nothing more than some heavy, but fully clothed, petting until our senior prom. After the prom, we snuck back to my house where we both lost our virginity in my bed. Since my boyfriend was going to the state university while I went east to college, we agreed to end our relationship just before we both left for school.
