I leave for college this coming week and I am mentally not there yet. Where did the summer go? What did I actually do this summer besides work, eat and try to save money? These are all really good questions but the real question is how I am going to pack in three days? Here are some of my favorite ones I have thought up this past week.
"OH GOD, I'M GOING TO FORGET SOMETHING!!!"
Okay, we all have this thought, whether it is a vacation or simply leaving something at home. I have an irrational fear that I will be leaving all my bed stuff behind.
"Did I save enough money?"
In all honesty, we can never save enough, because college will run you dry just as fast as you can make enough to live on for a semester or two.
"I'm going to miss my friends"
I've been at home for quite some time going to school during the past year and a half and most of my friends from high school had left before I did. I did have a couple friends home this summer and we had a ton of great times, I am just sad there aren't more of them.
"Why did I wait till last minute to pack?"
That's a really good question. I literally have no answer.
"Will my social anxiety get the best of me there?"
As a 21-year-old, I still am required to have a dining plan. That means that I will be forced to go to a dining hall alone or just at all. For some people, this is nothing to complain about. Again, it is something some people just want peace and that's me. Freshman can have it.
"Why do I constantly spend money on food?"
If you are a college kid, you know what I mean.
"What do I do now?"
Just relax. Life is going to get a lot more interesting again.
