The sun danced wildly on my skin and the scent of chlorine wafted in the air like a cool mist. I undressed quickly and sat by the side of the pool. i planned on jumping in like a child but something about the water mesmerized me by it's charm. So I sat on the edge with my legs swaying in the chilled water. I could feel the hard pavement against my fingers and then my mind started to spin like a wheel; concocting, dreaming, observing.
I looked into the glassy surface of the water. I could see all the way to the bottom. I wanted to jump in, but something held me back. I knew the cool of the water would only last for a moment and then i would be under the surface free to glide around. But for some reason i was afraid.
Then i realized that this is how i feel about college. I am sitting on the edge ready to dive in, but i am looking in with hesitation. I know the water is not too deep and the chill of the water will only last a moment. But I am sitting on the edge, filled with hesitation.
