<p>Ok, I'm going to admit it. I'm scared. College scares me. In less than seven months im going to have graduated from high school. All the hard work and everything for a piece of paper and a handshake. But that handshake and piece of paper helps predict the rest of my life. And quite frankly, it scares me A LOT! Maybe its because i'm a senior and sixteen or because I grew up faster than I had to or what but it scares me that i'm almost on my own. Does anyone else feel this way or am I completly on my own here?</p>
<p>I definitely am. Just having no idea where I'm going to be next year is scary.</p>
<p>I'm soo excited for a change in lifestyle. Away with suburbia!</p>
<p>Haha...I can't wait to get out but at the same time I can wait because im scared beyond scared about the future</p>
<p>I'm both excited and scared. ...Excited to be getting out of where I've lived for the past sixteen years (and believe me, I'm not complaining; northern California was the best place for me to grow up; I've just always had that 'wanderlust' thing going on thanks to my grandparents, who are from Germany) and living it up on the East Coast ;) ...Scared that I'm going to lose touch with all of my friends, that I'll miss my family too much, that I'll have no idea what I'm doing with my life.</p>
<p>But fears aside, I feel like I'm ready to graduate high school -- not even in an arrogant, 'I'm above all this' way, but I just feel ready. Anyone else feel the same?</p>

Ditto. :)</p>
<p>I'm not really scared...I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to get everything in order...I know how I want my life to turn out..eh ok I lied I'm worried that somethings gonna happen. I already got accepted to the college of my choice...its just the other things going on in my life..</p>
<p>i am way more excited than scared. i cant wait to get out of this ****hole called my high school. what kind of saddens me is that there is a good possibility i wont get to walk the stage because i have too many tardies, and absences...ahh senioritis.</p>
<p>I'm so excited!!! And my job is to be excited since I already got into college ED!!! yay lol</p>
<p>congrats yet again futurenyustudents; i see your posts of enthusiasm all over the place xD</p>
<p>OK I'll stop now...just needed to get the excitement out of my system lol</p>
<p>haha its ok if I was accepted to the school I wanted to be I'd be freaking out too!</p>
<p>I'm excited, but more sad than scared. *** happened to simplicity? to childhood? to carefree thoughts? And then I'm going off to college?!</p>
<p>We all reach that point when we pause and think, "When'd <em>that</em> happen?"</p>
<p>Yeah, now I'm going to be an...adult. Creepy. Now I'll have to do without all the goodwill accorded to me on the basis of age, and work to earn it instead. It sucks.</p>
<p>At least I don't have to learn to drive since I'm going to a really small school in a walky-town.</p>
<p>Im excited for college.
But Im scared as hell about not getting in ANYWHERE (i think my saftey school is gonna reject me - i screwed up the app pretty bad)</p>
<p>yeah I know what you mean I got an email that said "hey you're an idiot you forgot to add in the classes you're planning to take at the school you're planning on moving to" but in a more sophisticated way LOL...anywho...yeah... its the adult im going to be all on my own haveing to pay for my own things make my own decisions that im scared/excited about :0(</p>
