I am currently a junior in high school, which means that it is time for me to start thinking about where I want to head off to college. On one hand I'm excited about starting a new chapter in my life and going to classes that actually intrigue me, but on the other hand I am insanely nervous about the whole thing.

I have a few colleges that I want to apply to, but they've all been located out of Georgia with my first choice being six hours away from my family. I want to be on my own, or at least I think I do, but I have all these thoughts running through my head on what could go wrong.

I think about if something happened back home, I couldn't get there fast enough because I would be six or more hours away from everyone. I also won't know anyone when I head off to college and something about that makes me feel uneasy. The fact that I have to start all over for the third time in my life since I've already moved once before is unsettling to me. I'm not a person that likes change or a bump in my already established everyday routine so I'm not sure what kind of effect something this drastic will have on me. I know that I can handle myself and be able to live on my own, but everyone has that little voice in the back of their minds that tells them otherwise. To some people, college may not seem like a big deal, they have everything planned out about their future and are already comfortable being independent and handling whatever life throws them -- how I wish I could have that too. Truth is, I don't know what I want to major in or even where to start. I don't have it all planned out. I'm just following God on what He says to do and following Him as He leads me down the right paths. This is why I'm nervous about college, but no worries anymore: God has everything under control and I'm just along for the ride! He knows where to take me.
