<p>What's going through your head during these final days of summer?</p>
<p>For me I'm so mixed with emotions! I'm super excited because I've been looking forward to transferring for a long time, and I'm excited to get to know my school, college town, and college life. On the other hand moving is always hard, well for my family anyway. So I don't really have any idea what's going through my parent's minds this time. Luckily I'm not going to school far away so I can come home often if we wanted.</p>
<p>Mixed emotions too – and I’m going to be a junior. I still feel like I’m making a mistake going back to the school that I go to. I wanted to transfer to be closer to home, but I just figure “tough, I just have to deal”.</p>
<p>Good luck with your experience at your new college this year. I hope it goes well :)</p>
<p>Thanks!! I’m nervous because I’ve had big experiences like this take a turn for the worse and now I have everyone watching me and seeing how well I do…but I just say you have to just try it and see. Can’t like everything in life, but it doesn’t mean some things won’t still be amazing!</p>
<p>Good luck to you too! Living far away is hard, but if you can survive it it’s a great feeling :)</p>
<p>@inbloom They aren’t bad it takes a little to get used to though.</p>
<p>that being said i have one this semester >< at least it is a short walk to the room. Unlinke a previous semester where i had to hike across campus.</p>
<p>I am an incoming freshman in college so I am not sure if I should be on “College Life”. I am a bit apprehensive about academics. I received PHENOMENAL aid and scholarships so I don’t want to screw things up academically. Also, I have 3 classes MWF and 1 TTH, I heard that will be very tough to deal with especially being near a city. =/</p>
<p>Well if you like partying you are in for a treat. Do you live to close, is that the issue? My college is 150 miles away (WAY TO CLOSE) but I met students on the school’s incoming Facebook page and I learned to love it. I also chose my Liberal Arts college because it will be free for me (PHENOMENAL aid).</p>

<p>Nope, I don’t party. I’ve never been to a party before. I live 100 miles away, which is too far. I can’t stand being in a small town area, I live in the middle of LA.</p>
<p>heheh, cowman, I also applied to my school because it was free. Mainly.
It came down to a “why not?” so yeah.
I’m looking to transfer to the school I really want to go to as a junior. Maybe.</p>
<p>I’ve never been away from some of my friends at home for so long. And my high school friends. And, of course, my family.
Plus I’ll be across the ocean, which is a HUGE barrier for visiting home…literally.</p>
<p>I’m sad now, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it after a week or two.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>How can I spend these last two weeks without killing my family members?</p></li>
<li><p>How the hell will I finish shopping in two weeks?</p></li>
<li><p>What the hell am I doing?</p></li>
<li><p>I’m going to go insane.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I’ll be a sophomore this yr but I’m transferring to a big university so it’s kind of like being an incoming freshman. I finally get to move out and live my life the way i want because my parents are super strict and protective. They only let me go out once or twice a month and i have to be home before it’s dark. I just hope they wont expect me to come home every weekend or even every other weekend because i want to enjoy my entire experience and don’t want to be back until big holidays like thanksgiving. </p>
<p>I am nervous too though. My biggest concern is getting good grades(3.5+ gpa), I don’t want to get caught up in partying and having a good time to the point that i put school as second priority and i’m scared that the classes will be much harder. I attended a Community college my freshman yr and that was easy but i’m assuming that university classes are much tougher. I’m also a little nervous about adjusting to eating in a cafeteria and having to ride a bus to all my classes and getting there on time.</p>
<p>I am like H2013, I did my freshman year at a CC and am now going to a larger state college. I’m only about an hour away from home but I’m wondering how I’m going to handle being away from family and completely by myself. I don’t want to come home every weekend as I feel it will be pretty counter-productive; I “went away to college” but yet I’m coming home every week? What a waste of money. So I’m thinking about forcing myself to stay on campus most weekends. I’m anxious for move-in day already, nervous on how I’m going to handle being completely alone, and super excited for what’s to come. I’m a complete jumble of nerves.</p>
<p>I think the hardest part about moving away sometimes is just the wait. That’s why I let myself kind of forget about it the whole summer- until now. You just let so many things get to your head and allow yourself to get so nervous and afraid. I think the week before and the first week or so after are the worst, but after that you’ll get used to it!!!</p>
