Kiss The Rain-Yiruma

~beginning of my first year~

I ran into an awkward, sweet guy I’d gotten to know in the crazy socialness of Welcome Week. He had just come from reslife to get a key for one of the piano rooms in Argo. I remember that he lived in Blake, and ribbing him for being an Argo wannabe. I eventually started to end the conversation and he hesitated, then asked me if I wanted to listen to him play the piano. Who wouldn’t say yes to a serenade! He played this song for me, then another, then sang for me, and then tried to teach me piano. I was hopeless, of course.

It meant a lot. People don’t always do nice shit for you; people aren’t always vulnerable to your judgement. We never really talked again, but it was a really nice moment that will always stand out as the example of how good a fresh start in college is.
