I grew up in a small town, and like most teenagers, my schedule from day to day was the same. I woke up, went to school, came home from school, and avoided doing chores and homework. I would then eat dinner with my family, watch some TV, go to sleep, and wake up to do the same routine the next day. After eighteen years, it was time for a new chapter in my life: College. What an exciting thought! My idea of college included a new beginning, no curfew, new friends, and finally being on my own. I did not think I would miss home, high school, or my parents; however, I was most definitely wrong.
After moving into my new dorm room (which I thought was the smallest, yet most exciting thing) and saying goodbye to my parents, I was ready to be on my own in this new world. One day later however, it was a completely different story. I was very upset and realized the responsibility of being a college student. New thoughts rushed through my head: "Where and who do I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner with?" "Do my books really cost that much?" And "how do you do laundry?"
The transition into college from the easy high school life will be a hard experience, yet a very rewarding one. Although I am still getting situated, I am overwhelmed and anxious about my future of being on my own and growing from my own experiences. I wish everyone the best of luck in these next four years that are said to be the times of our lives!
