nervous about studying abroad :( Help

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello,
I recently got accepted as an exchange student at a very prestigious Parisian uni---I would spend my junior year there.
I am just sooo scared and contemplating whether or not I should do it now :(</p>

<p>Concerns:
-Joining a sorority this year and I feel like i won't really reap the benefits if im gone
-finally feeling like im connecting to people on campus--joining clubs, getting leadership positions
-im a homebody and i worry that i might be too homesick...it took me awhile to adjust to being away from home. i have depressive tendencies and i just dont want to be depressed and sad...it might affect my grades.
-i have one best friend and honestly im quite possessive...i dont want her to find another group of friends and forget about me</p>

<p>Why i want to go:
-I've ALWAYS wanted to travel to Paris and study there. im not the happiest person at my school and honestly i want to travel
-it'll add something extra to my person...never been outside of the country before.
-i want to morph into a new person lol. i came into my home college with a bf and it hindered me in the beginning</p>

<p>Well… This could go both ways. </p>

<p>Going away could help you overcome all of these issues since you learn how to be more independent and how to focus on things at hand. When you’re traveling around Paris after class, you need to worry about how to get back home or where the mall is and what to say if you get lost, not on how your best friend is doing or on what you should be doing back at home. As they say, you need to function "</p>
