Friday, September 4, the year 2015.

My day begins with the chirping of the alarm I've set on my phone. Rolling over in bed to grab it, I immediately see two emails to my school account, and an Instagram notification letting me know a friend from home has "liked" a photo. Before getting out of bed, I check the emails. One tells me where my Mechanical Engineering Seminal class is going to be and the other is an email from my Professor letting me know when to meet with him. 

After slowly and sleepily getting ready to go to classes, I find that I'm a little ahead of schedule and have time to eat my bagel at home. No housemates in sight, I eat my breakfast in one hand, and lazily swipe down on my Instagram feed to pass the time. A picture a friend posted of art on the Berlin Wall catches my eye. I throw it a like.
