As I walk on the halls I see the cafeteria and every time I pass the cafeteria the smell of food just makes me hungry. So every time I pass the cafeteria I try to close my eyes and look to the other way. As I walked on the hallway there’s a place call advising and admission, which is for students that want information to apply to the college. I remember the first time I went to the Admission place I was nervous about college. I didn’t know how college work, so I went to Admission and set up an appointment.
