My First Day at College – A northerner and southerner meet – now best friends for life

My first day of college…. It was in May of 1986. I was born and raised in western New York with the Great Lakes, lake effect snow, the Buffalo Bills. I went to college in Pensacola, the home of grits and palm trees and white beaches. My roommate was a native Alabaman and die hard Crimson Tide fan. It took over 8 weeks before we could understand one another. I was the athlete, she was a cheerleader. I was 6 feet tall, she was 5′ 2″ tall. Polar opposites in many ways but after 38 years, we are still best friends to this day!
