Class of '08: You scared?

<p>This is mainly for those who are "going away" to college (you'll be living on campus, no matter how far the campus is from your hometown). I'll be living about 8 hours from home.</p>

<p>Are any of you REALLY scared? I've been reading the "roommmate horror stories" and that scares me. Plus I took APUSH and only got a C, which pretty much made me think "Well if this is what college is like, there goes my high GPA."</p>

<p>How many of you are flat-out scared to go to college?</p>

<p>i wouldnt say im "flat-out" scared but im a little nervous
u know, its a new school, new people, etc
but i think im excited yet nervous because its another chapter in my life and im ready to face it</p>

<p>Oh I'm definitely excited...I dunno, I'm just scared that I won't do well at all and have to move back home after a semester or something.</p>

<p>Plus it's my first time living away from home (except for 10-day summer camps and such).</p>

<p>i'm scared, but mostly just scared of change.</p>

<p>I'm just worried that I'll have an a-hole of a roommate...</p>

<p>BRING IT ON. I could care less about my roommate. As long as he isn't violent or whatever, then I can just keep to my side with some Febreeze and my soon-to-be-large number of video games. Oh, and friends. Lots and lots of bros (some ladies sprinkled throughout, of course). College is new. Breathe.</p>

<p>Im anxious, I'm more scared about getting accepted. That's my main college worry at the moment.</p>

<p>No, I'm not scared I'm very excited to go to college.</p>

<p>I'm super excited about going to college. just anxious about whether I'll get in or no...
not really worried about course load for now. a counselor in my school said with my course load and commitments, it can't get any harder in college. plus loads of alum from my school said right now college is easier
so I'm looking forward to that. right now HS is just exhausting. another reason I want to go to college: to avoid the crazy pollution and traffic jams of a metropolitan :P</p>

<p>I'm excited, but I know I take many aspects of living at home for granted, so we'll see how everything works out.</p>

<p>I'm more nervous about the acceptance/rejection letters...</p>

<p>i'm really excited for the new experience. i know it'll be an adjustment, but i think i'm ready.</p>

<p>the only hurdle is, you know, getting in first...</p>

<p>I'm pretty excited to go to college. Not that I hate home, I like it, but I'm ready to move away. I'm just scared about getting accepted at my top choice.</p>

<p>I'm excited. I'm just worried about getting into one of my top choices. Wouldn't it stink to just have to go to a state university after working so hard for 4 years?</p>

<p>I'm worried that I'll experience the "freshman -15". I did a summer program at a college, and I don't know if it was a freak thing or actually had something to do with the horrible food/lack of sleep/walking everywhere, but I lost 9 pounds in 10 days. Not a good thing. I barely weigh 90 on a good day.</p>

<p>What's wrong with State Universities?</p>

<p>Hey Sungchui or whatever the hell your name is, I know some very smart people who go to State Universities, and judging by your stupid comment, I could guarantee that they are smarter than you are.</p>

<p>im worried mostly about acceptances.</p>

<p>once i get accepted and go, i know i can handle it. i am mainly excited. im not too afraid to live away from home, since i basically do everything for myself anyway (clean, grocery shop, cook, laundry, etc). i will miss my family, but i think it will be managable.</p>

<p>where are you guys planning to go to school?</p>

<p>I wanna go to Sonoma State if I get in.</p>

<p>If I don't get in, I'll go to San Francisco State (I've already been accepted there).</p>

<p>I can't wait, although at this point, I am more concerned about where I am going. I think that once I know for certain, I'll start with my roommate worries.</p>

<p>i'm scared...but i still reallllllly want to leave home.</p>
