Malevolence's Official 50th Birthday

Somehow i'm off by a day.  Anyway, i've said before, if malevolence had a birthday, it would be September 20th.  Malevolence would also be female (obviously).  For no reason at all, that date just popped into my head.

Part of me wishes the personification of malevolence (if it existed) the best, that she got everything she ever wanted.  

If you want to see roughly what i think malevolence would look like - there was a Good Rx commercial titled something like "Save Even if You Don't Have Insurance" about 9 seconds in (lady who claims she runs her own business).  i know it isn't the real malevolence, but she strongly reminds me of what i thought malevolence would look (even sound a little bit) like.  But that lady looks much taller than malevolence's 5'2" frame (i mean, i would guess).

My First Year of College

Wall of text warning.

It is now early September, what strange thoughts popped into my head?  My first year of college and how much of a struggle it seemed.  Spoiler: i have always had a problem with new experiences and am not what you would call a people person.  Even though i had a rough 4-year plan before i ever set foot on campus, doesn't mean it went smoothly.  i had enough money saved to pay for one year of college out of pocket.  Subsequent years would always have some struggle with financial aid.

It was a warm day in late August, i went to the campus the first time.  i wanted a softer landing in college, so i was in a freshman dorm on an all-male floor.  i think the program was called something like "enrichment" which allowed me to come onto campus a week or so early.  The college i went to was a small state school where people would go for a year to transfer to a more notable college.
