College Anxiety

<p>Hey there. I move into college in less than a week now, and I am so nervous! I know tons of people who have moved in already and love it, however I just seem to have this fear of living away for the first time.</p>

<p>I'm so adjusted to waking up in the morning, going to school, doing sports, hanging with friends, and then going home until the next day arises. I know it's time to "grow up" and become a big kid now but it still doesn't stop my fears from living away from home. The university I'm going to is even less than a half an hour from home and I'm still panicing.</p>

<p>One of my concerns is this: in high school I was never the biggest partier or outgoing person. On the same note, I was never anti-social. I had my tight-nit group of friends and that was the extent of it. </p>

<p>At this point, I'm not sure if it's fear of the unexpected or what but I'm really nervous for move in day this weekend. My questions to you fellow college students are this: Were you afraid of living away for the first time? If so how did you adjust? Do you feel you made the right choice by living away rather than commuting?</p>

<p>It was my choice to live away although I could easily commute to school if I wanted to. Can you give me some advice to calm the anxieties down? I'd greatly appreciate your help.</p>
