In the photo above you will find an amusing and full-of-life group of kids, these are the people who have made my last few months at home.
And while saying goodbye and see you later is very difficult for me and my friends I know it has to be done. Below you will find a list of ways I plan to keep my goodbye a happy one!
1. Pictures Pictures Pictures!
For me, I am a very visual person and enjoy seeing pictures. I could talk to someone on the phone for hours but without seeing them, I still feel very distant. Pictures help to make me feel closer to the people I adore when I am away. I have printed many photos of my friends, family and puppies to help me comfortably adjust to the college life while I am three hours away
2. Facetime!
I have a four year old brother, whom I have an irrational fear that he will forget about me while I am away at school, who is overjoyed whenever he gets to see someone and talk to them at the same time. I intend to use this modern technology to make sure my baby brother, friends and family don't forget how much I love and care for them.
3. Visits
The very obvious way I plan to keep in touch with my friends and family is by coming home to see everyone or asking if they will come see me at school. I also intend on visiting many friends at various college campuses.
Going off to college doesn't have to be sad and it won't be for me when using the steps above.
