You did it. You've gotten this far. You're merely two weeks from moving in to your new home. Hours away, surrounded by strangers; this is how you will live for the next five years. So what's holding you back?

1. A New Home

Waking up in a strange place is scary enough; but being hours away from all your friends and family? How will you do it? What if you forget something crucial? What if your roommate doesn't warm up to you?

2. Be Calm, This is Your Space

Your dorm room is your personal space. It is open for your interpretation. You may do with it as you please (according to the college's rules). So breathe. This small room will be your escape.

3. New People

A whole new community of people await you. New teachers, new friends, and even maybe new enemies. What if you have to eat lunch alone? What if you're the only one in your class with no study partner? I'm not going to lie, you may meet people that don't like you.

4. New Opportunities

Similarly, you may meet your life long bed friend. Keep calm. Be yourself. Put yourself out there. If you get down, you always have your hometown friends to back you up.

5. Tough Hours

High school was simple. Six hours of lecture, a clear schedule, homework time after school. College is vastly different- or so it seems. Expensive textbooks, strict professors, and what seems like a million papers due by Friday. Your sleep schedule is shot- you haven't talked to your parents in two weeks because you're so busy. We're you really made for this?

6. Endurance and Persistence

You talk to your professors. You ask for help. You struggle through that last paper. You down another Red Bull. Finally, you look back on everything you've accomplished. You haven't come this far to give up now. You do what it takes, and find ways to become more efficient.

Its a new experience, not a bad one. You'll make it, just breathe.
