...And One Giant Leap for a College Student!

     Today, I took another step toward college.  I ordered my bedding for my dorm room! Actually, I ordered my bedding, towels, washcloths, and a lot of other necessities for my dorm all in one neat package! Everyone has been asking me for months now, “What colors are you doing your dorm room??” My usual answer is, “I’d like to know that, too!” Well now, I have the answer. Purple and blue damask.

     Ordering my bedding is a huge step for me. First, I tend to procrastinate…a lot. I found the link on Furman’s new student page to the RHL website which has lots of bedding packages and things for dorm/college life a few months ago, but I’ve been putting off ordering it.  However, after orientation when Mom said, “They told the parents at orientation that all the popular colors go fast,” I decided to have my things ordered by the end of the week. When Heather and I went shopping on Wednesday, I looked in a few stores to compare prices, but nothing compared to the prices I found on RHL. So today, I surprised Mom and said, “Let’s sit down and look at bedding!”
     Second, this is a big deal for me because I am super indecisive.  My friends know not to ask me, “Where do you want to eat?” or “What do you want to do?” because I don’t like making decisions. Especially ones that I’m going to have to live with for a while. Like say, for at least nine months. So for me to look through the choices today and say, “I want to order this pattern!” was monumental. 
     Lastly, it’s exciting because it means I’m that much closer to moving into Furman! Summer O? Check! Bedding? Check! And only eight more weeks until I start O Week as an official Paladin!
