I was a junior in college and my first class of the day didn't begin until 11am. Basically, I slept through the towers getting hit. When I woke up, I could hear the news blaring from my roommate's TV. I didn't think much of it so I started driving to campus. I got in my car and my usual rock station had the news on it. I thought that was strange so I changed the station. Again, the news. It finally hit me that there must be something going on. I remember the news anchor saying that the towers had been hit but they weren't sure yet whether it was an accident or not. I called my father from my cell and asked, "Is this a joke? Is this War of the Worlds or something?" I could tell he was in shock from the morning's events and said, "No! This is very serious! The towers are gone and the Pentagon has been hit." I still went to class and I remember sitting there for about 5 minutes when our professor came in and dismissed us. I went straight to the sorority house and watched the TV with my sisters.
