<p>College is Awsome guys. Dont worry about it. It will Probrolly be the best 4-5 years of your life.</p>
<p>Living by yourself is really alot better, you will notice it quick. </p>
<p>**** I plan to stay in school at least another 3 years and Im a Junior.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>i don't think you're ready until you get there. :)</p>
<p>I'm pretty nervous about going to college right now. I'll miss all those easy classes at high school.</p>
<p>After going to orientation this past week, I cannot wait to start!</p>
<p>I just want to get the **** out of ann arbor.</p>
<p>I went to an orientation a few days ago for my school and I got real good vibes from the other people. I am super excited for school and can't wait to go.</p>
<p>But on the other hand I know as I prepare to head off in late August I will miss everything I am leaving behind.</p>
<p>I have 4 family members I have seen go off to college and believe it or not, the second you step out that door and pull out of the drive way, your life will change forever. When you come home, it will be different, and the relationships with your family and friends will change. But hey, it's just part of growing up.</p>
<p>I'm really excited to go, but second-guessing my choice to move across the country. I'm going to miss my family so much.</p>
<p>God, I'm scared to death. I start on Wednesday (Naval Academy) and all my friends are just gearing up for summer, while I'm like....one last movie....one last Fraiser with the family...one last dinner. It's almost sad and depressing (that could also be the fact that I'm sleeping HORRIBLY).</p>
<p>But at the same time I'm incredibly excited :) I just have to remind myself that by the time my friends are moving into their dorms, I will have qualified on handguns and rifles, taken swimming classes, jumped off a 10 m high dive (hopefully...if the vertigo doesn't kick in...), played "spirit mission pranks", played with the marching band at a Baltimore Orioles game, and who knows what else.</p>
<p>That makes it a little easier to bear :D</p>
<p>I'm really excited, but terrified at the same time. </p>
<p>This past school year I was so ready to be done with high school and on with college...but now that it's actually almost here the nerves are kicking in.</p>
<p>I'm having second thoughts about my college choice too. I'm sure I'll feel better after the first week though. At least...I hope so.</p>
<p>It's more like will college live up to my expectations for me.</p>
<p>Im sooooo ready to go...i cant wait.</p>
<p>New start and livin on my own...</p>
<p>Orientation in 2 weeks....lets see whats my thoughts afterwards</p>
<p>I'm really nervous because I'm going far away and I don't know anyome there. I'm a quiet person so I think that its going to be difficult for me to meet other people.</p>
<p>Being a quiet person, I'm a little bit nervous about being in a place where I don't know anyone. But, once I get to know a few people well, I'll be fine ;-)Otherwise, I am soooo looking forward to college. I have always had good feelings about the school I am going to, so I think that I will really enjoy college.</p>
<p>I was second-guessing my choice a couple weeks ago because I was helping some upcoming-senior-friends sort through their college brochures and there are so many interesting schools out there. But I think it was b/c I hadnt been to my school's campus for a few months and wasnt sure. But I had orientation last week and fell in love with the school all over again. Wow that sounds cheesy. But ya know what I mean. I'm so ready to leave, get away from home...and be on my own!! </p>
<p>Even though my parents think that since school is only an hour away I should come home atleast once a month. They're taking it harder than me...probably because I'm the last to go!</p>
<p>Right now i am excited. i cannot wait to be a part of a prestigious school or to meet some awesome people. </p>
<p>i think that when it comes to be august 10, and i begin to notice that i am doing things "one last time," i will suddenly become very nervous. in fact, i will probably be scared out of my mind then. after observing my two older siblings who left for college (a while ago), i realized that when they came back, things had indeed changed (i.e. they were more like GUESTS than family); it was just different.
oh well, tomorrow is another day.</p>
<p>EDIT: its my 300th post!!! now i can rightfully call myself a "member!"</p>
<p>well I'm pretty ready to go but I know for a fact that I'm gonna be a nervous wreck on the day I leave...I don't even wanna think about that day lol...and I told my mom that I "can't wait to leave" today and she said that it'd hurt her feelings...I don't know...she's been acting kinda weird lately...she's gonna make it worse for me lol</p>
<p>The week before move-out/in is going to be crazy. I'm hoping all of the last minute packing and shopping and whatever will be eno
ugh to block out how nervous i am.</p>
<p>Also, i'm a 6-7 hour drive away, so other than the initial move i'll be flying...which means i wont be home too often.</p>
<p>Also, for those who are going to have their parents help them move in, do you think it'll be like the cliched movie scenes where we stand there with all our stuff as our parents drive away crying? lol</p>
<p>At registration in June, one of the speakers on family life told the parents that they should say all their serious goodbyes/final talks before you leave home because if a parent tries to do it on campus with a bunch of people and activities going on around, the student will be less likely to act caring/emotional/huggable, and this can result in many parents going home feeling extremely empty. I can definitely see how that would happen.</p>
<p>This is an interesting topic so i'll bump bump bump it</p>

It will be exactly like that.</p>
<p>If you can, be sneaky and show up a day early to start moving your stuff in. It will go a lot smoother the next day, and you'll feel slightly less stressed. Even if you can only get a few things into the room, try to do so. It also lets you claim your half of the room and you can pick which of the furniture you want and move it all around before your roommate gets there.</p>
