Dear Diary,
As I approach Move-In Day anxiety is starting to build! I have not gotten a single item for my dorm room and do not even know if my roommates and I are color coordinating! (The struggle is real) I am so unsure about what college is really going to be like. I have talked to upcoming sophomores and they have given valuable advice, but I do not feel like I will truly understand until I get there. There is so much to wrap my head around and right now I just feel like my head is spinning.
On the bright side, I have finally been assigned my froomies, and from the social media stalking I have done (sorry Leah and Haley) they do seem very normal and I have a feeling that we could be friends! But, I have not even started getting to know them. Basic questions are the extent of the iMessage group chat that I nervously set up and even then I feel like I am back to stage one in the roommate search (See: Awkward Facebook intro in Diary of an Incoming Freshman) Have I talked to my roommates about anything remotely room related? No. Do I hope we get a mini fridge? Yes. Have I voiced that to the roomies? No. I feel like there is no good way to bring up the content of actual important things without seeming pushy and I do not want to bully them into living with me, but there are so many questions I want to ask.
Move-In Day gets closer and closer, but I am further from being ready to leave the familiarity of my home. I will be off to a whole new side of the country in less than three weeks, but I am still struggling to figure out how I am yet to make that happen. I have no clue what car I will be driving, what members of my family will be going, or most importantly what clothes I am going to pack or leave home. I have lists and lists of things I need, clothes I want and stuff that is deemed necessary for college to be a success, but with all these lists I can not seem to find any satisfaction with the progress I have made towards being #collegebound.
College is overwhelming, but I will get through it (hopefully).
Love,
Jessica Belica
