<p>Move-in day is in less than three weeks now, and I alternate between being incredibly excited and paralyzingly anxious. Sometimes when I think about moving out and being on my own for the first time I feel so sick to my stomach. I'm homesick already and I haven't even left!</p>
<p>Is anyone else nervous or are you generally excited?</p>
<p>It’s a healthy mix of nervous and excited. It’s going to be a totally new experience because I’ve never been away from my parents for more than a week at a time. The idea of having to do everything for myself is a little intimidating but I think I’ll be okay. It’s the next chapter of my life and I’m ready for it.</p>
<p>I was the same way before I moved in for the first time. Make sure you finish packing early enough that you can sleep the night before. I was mostly packed but my parents wouldn’t take me dorm shopping until the day before I moved, and I ended up awake the whole night having meltdowns trying to get things together.</p>
<p>I agree- both nervous and excited! But mostly excited. I’m only going 2 hours away, so it won’t be as bad as last time I moved out when I was 10 hours away. So I like knowing that I can come home whenever if I really wanted to- that makes dealing with nerves a lot easier!</p>
<p>I think it just hit me that move-in really is only 3 weeks away! I just didn’t realize it was that soon. So now I’m scrambling to plan everything I need to do. But I am excited. It’s my first dorm room, so that’s exciting, and I get to decorate a lot more :D</p>
<p>I have about 4 weeks to go until move-in. I’m not exactly excited right now because I’ve been having a really good summer that I feel like has been moving much too fast for my liking. I’m not ready to leave everything behind just yet.</p>
<p>The thing I’m really dreading right now is actually moving into my dorm and saying goodbye to family and friends… that’s the part that makes me nervous. After that, I think I should be OK. I know that I made the right decision regarding where to go to school and I don’t think I would want to be anywhere else.</p>
<p>I am excitied and ofcourse somewhat nervous. I will be about seven hours from home and have only four wensdays and three Thursdays before moving. Always dreamed of the day moving out, starting my own life/ independence and having no one I have to answer to. Nervous a little about being in the adult world but much more excitied. I am not sad though, as I do not think leaving for college should be a sad moment.</p>
<p>Very excited! Very glad to leave Texas and start hitting the books. Summer is so worry-free, I hate it. I need some eustress for me to function properly.</p>
<p>I’m feeling the jitters about leaving my really close loved ones behind, and about the incredibly new and independent experience. But I’m also excited I know I can do well, just sad to be farther away from all the people I’ve grown close to over the years.</p>
<p>I’m starting to realize that I feel way too young to go to college. I’m a year younger, maybe thats it…but still I don’t want to leave, I want my home to be my home, don’t want to be an adult yet…</p>
<p>I think once the date gets closer and closer I will continue to get nervous. This happened to me whenever we started school, lol. But I’m excited right now! &being away from the States (in Japan ATM) keeps my mind away from that…</p>
