College Dream

I was on a college campus, Sac State, and I was looking for the library. It was night time. I decided to take a short cut through the freshman dorm area. It was really crowded and I had to navigate around people. There were steps leading to the main area of campus. They were wide, scalloped and long, reminding me of an ancient Mayan temple. Some of the freshmen were playing beer pong on the steps. They had set up 30 cups and were taking turns trying to get a ping pong ball into them from below. There was a special pink cup in the middle that was worth extra prizes.

I continued to look for the library in the center of campus. This area was also crowded with people. In the middle of the quad there was a giant sculpture made out of barbed wire. The shining silver points were twisted around each other in a giant hairball tangle. The students milling about were also wearing barbed wire as a fashion accessory. Some had it around their waists, other had cleverly woven it into their hairdos. As I walked, people handed me barbed wire to wear. I got a belt and a bird nest type thing to wear on my head. It didn't really fit so I looked for someone else to pass it off to. I ran into a guy who was whining and upset about his class schedule because he didn't get the classes he wanted. I told him that it would all work out and not to worry, but I was secretly really glad that I didn't have to deal with that kind of thing any more. The sun started to rise and as soon as the light hit the campus everyone was gone. The party was over and the whole place became deserted. I was able to continue my search for the library without any crowds, although I don't think I ever found it.
