<p>H2013 I hope you have a great time at school! I was a bundle of nerves going in freshman year not knowing anyone in the whole state of MI but it ended up wonderfully. Adjusting is an interesting experience, but at least you know that there are thousands of other freshmen/transfer students at MSU who are adjusting/feeling the exact same way you do. </p>
<p>I AM SO EXCITED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL (I’m a college junior so I’m not sure this thread applies to me) but I go back to school in exactly 1 week, and I’m completely thrilled to see my best friends again (and take awesome classes within my major). This year is going to be beyond awesome, especially since I turn 21 (along with most of my friends). The only thing I’m a little apprehensive about is the money/finding a fall job aspect. I’m broke as ***** (moreso than I was the last 2 years of school) so I am not sure how some things are going to work out.</p>
<p>I’m excited to finally be leaving home, be on my own, and finally get the full college experience ( I spent two years at a CC living at home). I think it’ll be exciting to meet new people and to get to know the city I’m living in. </p>
<p>But on the other hand I’m gonna be away from all my friends and family for a lot of the year, which is gonna suck. I’m gonna be 2,400 miles away from home and I’m leaving home for the first time. Also, I’m kinda worrying if I’ll be able to keep up academically since I feel like CC was too easy; I feel like I’ve gotten lazy since I wasn’t challenged.</p>
<p>Im excited but nervous as an incoming freshman. Excited to live on my own, meet new people and take classes that actually interests me. I am nervous about making friends because my school is instate but in a different part of the state and no one i know is going there. I am also nervous about having a roomate, i hope we get along well. But all in all, i cant sleep because of the excitement.</p>
<p>It’s a mixture of excitement and dread. Mostly excitement though. I’m not looking forward to move-in at all, I just want to fast-forward through that stuff. I really hope I don’t get too homesick; I’m going to be 2,000 miles away from home. But I’m going away from a city that I hate to a school and town that I absolutely love, which somewhat compensates. Leaving family, friends, etc. behind is certainly going to be hard though. My sister’s birthday is in September and it just dawned on me that I won’t be there to celebrate.</p>
<p>I’m super excited to make this year my best year of school ever. It’s my second year of college…and this time around I’m going to get it right. My first year I spent dabbling in a bunch of different things, quitting all of them, and basically getting myself nowhere. </p>
<p>I’m going to take a full course load, get involved in a bunch of different clubs, do undergraduate research, rush a sorority, and just let myself be stable and have fun. I can’t wait. : )</p>
<p>With 2 weeks left before I leave the country(Nepal) to head to the States, I’m thinking too much. </p>
<p>I’ve been dreaming about coming to the states since I was a kid and this is definitely an exciting time in my life. But now I’m starting to think too much about how American kids will be, how they’ll see me and if I’ll even get along with them. I’m even starting to worry whether my accent will be a problem. Aha I know you guys aren’t vultures or anything and I know I’ll be able to get along fine but I’m just worried that I’ll psych myself out and end up with no friends. Also, hoping that the people won’t be a pretentious bunch since I’m going to an LAC.</p>
<p>Academia wise, slightly nervous but I’m excited to be finally do what interests me.</p>
<p>All in all, my worries lie with myself, whether I’ll be able to keep my cool and stay calm. I know I can deal with the distance from home etc I just have to overcome my biggest obstacle - me. I know I’ll survive, we all will… we’re just thinking too much. :)</p>
<p>I’m really stressed about getting all of the stuff that I need. I keep thinking about what I need and what I don’t.
I’m sad to say goodbye to my friends who are starting to leave
I’m excited to go and experience something new.
I’m anxious about starting my classes and I hope I do well in them.
I’m happy to leave my family and I hope that this makes our relationship better.</p>
<p>^ my brother and I used to not get along AT ALL and then he moved away to college. This most definitely helped my relationship with him, and by the time he graduated we were pretty great friends. Distance does help bad family relationships, as long as you handle everything right :)</p>
<p>I’m nervous, but excited! haha I’m an incoming freshman, and I’m excited to start something new, but at the same time, this summer has been amazing, and I’m not sure I’m ready for it to end. Anddd I’m also nervous I won’t make any friends, and I’ve never been away from my family for more than week, so I’m kinda nervous I’m going to be homesick.</p>
<p>Worried about leaving behind my home. I feel like I’m moving out for good since I’ll only be home over holidays and breaks.
I’m a year younger than most in my grade and I’ve never felt strongly that difference until now - I feel too young to be going to college. Like all the sudden being an adult at 17?</p>
<p>All of my friends are excited to leave but I feel like I’ll be loosing something? Dunno how to explain it right…
and the first day of classes falls on my birthday :/. There’s no way anyone would know already, I’m worried it’s going to be depressing/all alone</p>
<p>I’m worrying that everything won’t fit in my mom’s van. And praying housing won’t assign me another roommate. Fingers crossed to keep that single.</p>
