<p>Everyone I talk to, they all seem to be pumped about college. They just can't wait for college and excitement is what I sense when I hear them speak about leaving home. </p>
<p>However, I am the opposite.</p>
<p>I wish I could stay home a bit longer, but I will be heading off to the east coast in a couple weeks. Probably I am nervous about moving far away and living in a new environment, hard courseload, independence.. New friends, teachers, classes, etc. I am a bit intimidated. Does anyone here share the same feeling? </p>

<p>me..the idea of going off on my own is exciting and everything, but in reality, i'm shaking in my boots..i'm so nervous and intimidated!! i mean i've been living with my mom and brother all my life and all of a sudden i wont be. i'm not a very independent person and i know i will be doing a whole lot of growing up in college..also i know that i will probably be extremely homesick the first few weeks, but i'm just trying to keep in mind that this experience is good for me..and i want to prove that i can do this and that i can be indepentent..its my first real step into this big world on my own..i think a lot of new college students feel this way too..so don't worry, you are not alone</p>
<p>I am a bit excited to start, but I'm definitely going to miss home. I would be quite happy if there were a school that I'd like to go to in my own city, honestly. I have absolutely no desire to move away from home and am not at all interested in "freedom" in college (I feel no restrictions whatsoever living with my family).</p>
<p>i am so PUMPED!!!! frat parties frat parties frat parties</p>
<p>I feel the same as he or she who posted.</p>
<p>I leave for school on wednesday. Mmm.. it's unreal to me. And it's not that exciting to me. Probably I'm scared in some way. I know that I CAN be on my own etc because I have been, so it's not just that... but I'll have to redefine my comfort zone I guess. I live in a sort of isolated place in the woods, 15 minutes out of town and I've always sort of loved that hermetic aspect of my home. On top of loosing that sense of privacy and refuge I'm going to a college that wasnt my first choice, albeit a fine school. </p>
<p>Everyone says "i'm sure you'll just adore college" and on and on.
Everyone says "i'm soooo excited you'll be going to school with me"
Heh? </p>
<p>Well, whatever. It doesn't have to be about that anyway- fun- I mean.
I can buckle down and study the subject - engineering- and make myself proud of myself for studying something that maybe will take me somewhere else and maybe will make me useful. (even though, i have a sense of use with out it, and no, I'm not a huge fan of sciences i dont think)</p>
<p>Try anyway.
We'll all try so good luck. Future'll unfold.</p>
