At my cheerful looking elementary school‚ every class had a specific table assigned to them and that was the place they would eat lunch and you were not allowed to switch to any other table.

I failed. The first time in college I failed myself‚ I lost who I was and I didn’t really know how to get the boy I was back.

I majored
