1. Is this even happening?
It’s hard to believe that tomorrow morning you’ll be waking up and heading off to your new life and meeting so many different people. Even though you’ve had a countdown on your phone for this day for months, you’re having a hard time comprehending that you’re a college student now.
2. Wow, I’m going to miss my mom
Your best friend for the past 18 years of your life will now be miles away from you and no longer reachable whenever you want. It’s finally time to start living your own life, away from mom and dad. But thankfully, we live in an era of FaceTime so mom and dad will just be a phone call away.
3. My siblings aren’t actually annoying as I thought they were
Even you and your siblings may not always get along, you know you’re going to miss them. If you have younger siblings like I do, you may not miss driving them around all the time but you’ll miss the fun car rides jamming out to music with them and watching Netflix with them.
4. I’m really going to miss my room
Even if you share a room with your sibling or your room is small, you’re definitely going to miss having your own space. You’ve grown accustomed to your room and it will take a while to get used to living in a dorm. Even though your bed might not be the comfiest, you’ll definitely miss laying down at the end of a hard day.
5. Do I have everything?
Even though you’ve been packed for days and have scavenged your house for almost everything you own, you’re worried you’ll forget something vital. Hopefully you’ll have a Target near your school in case you forget anything
6. I’m actually going to have to do schoolwork soon
The whole summer you’ve been worried about shopping and making sure that your dorm room will be the cutest one on campus. It may have slipped your mind that going away to college unfortunately means schoolwork is right around the corner.
7. I’m not ready for this
If you’re like me, you may be 18 years old but still feel like you’re in 8th grade. High school was such a blur and I still can’t believe that I’m a college student. As much as I tried to prepare myself for this next chapter of my life, I feel completely unprepared.
