<p>this is going to sound stupid...oh well...</p>
<p>Just thinking about leaving my family...my high school....my daily schedule scares the hell outta me. I think that most students are so busy with extracurricular activities, SAT's, reccomendations etc that they only realize the importance and beauty of their high school years when they get accepted somewhere. " you only realize the importance of something when you lose it".</p>
<p>that's what i'm feeling right now...i don't know where i'm going to go, i don't know how i will handle university and how hard it will be. All i know is that i'm ambitious and diligent enough to give my 120%. Still..can't help but feel...strange..that a part of my life is over. </p>
<p>Anyone feel the same way? Any advice?
cheers</p>
<p>i feel exactly the same way. i find myself questioning many times if all this was worth it. not going to lie, when i was deferred from georgetown, it took much out of me. i just hope my chances are better in the coming weeks. i spend nights up wonding about what in the **** im going to do next year. </p>
<p>all i can say, i turn up the stereo, put on your favorite angry record, and try to stay connected.</p>
<p>I feel the same way. I keep thinking about the fact that in about 6 months I’ll be in university (hopefully my dream school). I’m seriously having trouble coping with the fact that I’m gonna basically be separated from everyone I hold dear, especially since I’m an international student. Nowadays, each time I make a new friend or feel like a bond has been strengthened, I can’t help but feel sad inside.</p>
<p>On a positive note though, I can’t wait for the entire college experience! The environment will be so different from anything I’ve ever known (in a very good way) and I’m looking forward to forming new and perhaps even stronger bonds with the people I meet.</p>
<p>That’s how I’m feeling too… I’m definitely looking forward to it, but I keep thinking about how different it will be and all of the people (family, friends, teachers…) that I’ll leave behind.</p>
<p>I’m actually kind of dying to leave. I’ll miss it, but just in the regular ‘The good old days’ sort of way. </p>
<p>I’ve actually lived away from home before, and yeah, it’s tough at first. For me it was, at least. You get used to having your parents, or whoever, around all the time, and when that changes abruptly of course it’s a shock. But I’d think it’d be tough for anyone at first. You get through the first couple weeks, and you start to get used to it. Plus, in college, basically everyone’s going to be going through the same thing. Tell yourself you will not be alone. We’ll be fine. :)</p>
<p>I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. I find myself crying at night when I think about leaving my family/hometown. Even though I’ve been waiting to leave practically my whole life, I’m scared to leave now that it’s almost time. I keep telling myself that I have to move on on my own sooner or later.</p>
<p>i just can’t wait to get out of HS!</p>
