If I Wake Up Here Again
"The first day of school is always exciting. But what if you find yourself waking up in a university dorm with no memory of how you got there?
This is exactly what happens to these students, whose first day turns more than exciting upon discovering Berkeley-Reagan University.
Join a student during the first day orientation to meet old friends and to get to know new ones. Help one in search for a book in the restricted section of BRU Library. Share a cool afternoon with a student under the Narra tree at World Park.
Help a student decide whether to follow the rules or pass through restricted areas. Experience reminiscing painful memories, confronting fears, taking on a challenge. Approach Dean George Whitman or allow him to find you in your most vulnerable moment. Find a soulmate or your one true love. The possibilities are endless, and it all happens in just a day.
As these students find lessons about hope, healing, taking chances and more, will they free-dive into the unknown and wish to wake up in the same place the next day to stay for good?"

This is an anthology of seven short stories by seven different authors with the prompt: The first day of school is always exciting. But what if you find yourself waking up in a university dorm with no memory of how you got there?
Thoughts:
4 stars for my faves, "First Day Fiasco" by Krystle Mae Labio and "All That Matters" by Celestine Trinidad.
"First Day Fiasco" is fun and mysterious, and I wanted to find out more!
"All That Matters" was subtly kilig, plus I like how it really used the "other universe" aspect to explore something that the main character couldn't get over in her original universe.
As for the anthology as a whole, though, I'm not sure the prompt really works in a collection like this. I think it was too specific. It made the stories feel too repetitive
But a lot of the writing is pretty good, so I would be curious to read more from these authors if they have works in other topics.
