<p>Does anyone else know where they want to go and have anxiety or apprehensiveness about leaving home?</p>
<p>im going out of state. I dont have any apprehensions of leaving home because, frankly, Im sick of always depending on my parents for almost everything. I want to be independent. The best way to achieve this lifestyle is to stay in a dorm or another apartment. I hope I can do this at Cornell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1</p>
<p>If by anxiety you mean "can't freaking wait to leave," then yes. I already decided that I'm going out of state and not applying to any schools in DC, MD, or VA. Closest place I'm applying to is University of Delaware, and that's my final option safety school.</p>
<p>how do u think ur parents feel?</p>
<p>I bwavier back and forth </p>
<p>YES I want to leave; howeverI won't know anyone in Va.</p>
<p>Cornell isn't out of state if you're from LI :)</p>
<p>Niiiiiiiiiiiiineeeee months left! If a baby can make it from conception to birth, so too, can I finish my last year of high school, and HOPEFULLY, start college next summer! I'm hightailing it out of here and I'm not looking back! (Though this proclamation has elicted strange reactions from the locals, they look at me, like "Don't you want to go to LSU or Tulane, become a lawyer or a doctor, come back here, and marry your high school sweetheart?")</p>
<p>My parents are becoming resigned to the fact that I won't be living with them 9 months out of the year. No worry, they'll have all they can handle with my little sister entering high school the same year and my brother becoming an upperclassman.</p>
<p>Eh, I do feel a little scared of leaving home. Not necessarily my parents, mainly because I'm trying to find a college where I can take my horse, I'll miss my dog dreadfully (he'll probably cry and sit by the door for the first few weeks after I've left), and just the familiarity. I'll miss my mom, not my dad.
Yet, I can't wait to get out on my own. To do what, I don't know. Maybe the "independence" thing.
So, it's a little of both. I just want to get this year/college applications done with!</p>
<p>I'm scared. I don't know where I'm going to come up with a car (a graduation gift, I hope?). That's my main concern.</p>
<p>I'll miss my parents I guess, but I <em>have</em> to get away from them. I really think they hold me back.</p>
<p>Mostly, I'll miss home and high school and friends.</p>
<p>But I'm ready.</p>

That deserves a round of applause.</p>
<p>likewise about the car. and I to, can't wait to get away from Az but it still scares me to leave what I know. Anyone else??</p>
<p>Yes and no.
I know I'll miss everyone a ton and it will be hard being away at first. However, the local universities are not the greatest and I know that I would feel bad every day if I went there knowing I could have done much better. So really, the question is how far away can everyone deal with.</p>
<p>lol somebodynew,
that's more like eagerness.</p>
<p>Hehe. I'll have to teach my parents how to use IM before I go.</p>
