Wanted a day away and learned that my (kind of) niece was moving into her college dorm yesterday. And offered to drive out and help her out. She is kind of shy. So after a couple of hours of moving in, I went out to get something for lunch while she unpacked. When I got back, there were 2 guys in the hall. They were cute freshmen. To my nieces horror, I invited them into her room to meet her. Then I offered to split our food, since they were hungry. They hung out and helped us with some running electrical cords, hooking her tv up, getting carpet down right, and other stuff. She became more open with them. After a couple of hours we were all laughing and acting goofy together. One of the guys suggested she hang out with them tomorrow (they don't start classes until Tuesday). She was super excited they asked her to join them. She's such a good kid, but needs to come out of her shell more easily.
She texted me a picture a few minutes ago of her and the two guys and about 10 other kids 'hanging out'. She thanked me for introducing me to them yesterday.
Wouldn't it be so great to go back to college.
