It's almost here, that day you've been thinking about since Decision Day, your first day as a college freshman. You have no idea what to expect, and no idea what the next four years will hold for you. That amount of uncertainty truly does breed a whirlwind of emotions. These are some emotions I've been experiencing, that I'm sure you're either did experience or are experiencing too.
1. Anxiety About The Unknown
What if no one likes me? What if it's the third week and I still don't have any friends? What if the classes are too hard? Will the professors flip out if I'm a minute late? I'm already a hundred percent sure I'm going to get lost a minimum of 10 times trying to find my classes. Oh God, what if the professors hates me! What if college is a disaster? Yeah, I'm sure at least a few of these have been plaguing you're conscious as the time draws closer, but have no fear it's not like freshman year hasn't been done before. We did it in high school and we can do it again in college. Besides, if it was really so bad I'm sure the upperclassman would be a lot less happy. Freshman year is what we make it guys. We got this!
2. Weird Because You're Not Going Back To High School
Okay, is it me or did graduation happen so fast it feels like it didn't happen at all? Seriously, it's only now slowly hitting me that it's all over. You gotta admit whether you're ecstatic or sad, it's a weird feeling. Even more so when you see your friends who haven't graduated go back. It's almost like a part of you expects to go back and when you don't, it's just weird. We spent so much time there and just like that it's over. Weird.
3. Relief Because High School Is OVER
I know some people are incredibly sad that this part of your life has ended, but you gotta admit some part of you is saying, "Thank God." You don't have to see people you don't want to see, there's no more drama, and no more strict principals to deal with either. You're free now and even if you didn't want to be free, isn't it a relief?
4. Excitement About The Future
It's almost here, the start of everything. You control your life now. You have all these big plans and dreams that you are determined to make a reality. You can recreate yourself, you can study what you love, and you can become anything you want to be. So you spend half you're time daydreaming and planning to achieve those goals, because it's you're time to shine and you want to shine the brightest. There are so many adventures are ahead of you that you can't help but wish that this "in between stage", a.k.a. summer, would end already. By this time next year everything will be different and that's pretty exhilarating.
