<p>just wondering...am I the only one who feels a little scared about starting a whole new life?-starting a new social group, living without parents..etc. I was pretty excited until last month but I'm starting to get a little scared right now. How you guys are all feeling? excited? worried? What are your biggest fears about college?</p>
<p>Anxious, scared, excited, unsure, sad, happy, but mostly excited. I’m not so much worried about being a new kid in school, because it’s freshman year and everyone is new and knows no one else. I think the social part will sort itself out. I’m moreso concerned about being away from home, even though home is an hour away. I have never been away from family for more than two weeks at a time, so I think it will be hard at first. But I figure that I have to get used to it some time, because the alternative is staying home for the rest of my life <em>cringe</em>. </p>
<p>I don’t have any big fears, I just feel unsure. All it is is fear of the unknown, and it will pass eventually. But it’s normal to be scared, I think.</p>
<p>I’m nervous, excited and impatient for high school to be done and over with! I’m a bit nervous about making new friends but I know everyone has those same worries. </p>
<p>Just knowing I will become independent and living by myself makes me excited. I have a big family so knowing that Ill be living alone is great!</p>
<p>At the moment though, I can’t wait until I go dorm shopping because I loveee school shopping.</p>
<p>Let’s go class of 2015!</p>

<p>During the few weeks before I entered my freshman year of college, I was extremely nervous. I attend college 3,100 miles away from home, so it’s not like I can just stop and take a weekend trip home if I feel overwhelmed. However, as soon as I stepped onto campus I was nothing but excited and anxious to see how it would play out. Orientation week gets rid of a lot of the anxiety because you realize that everyone is in the same boat and you are all there to learn and better yourselves.</p>
<p>I’m really excited , im over high school. It won’t be that big of a change for me because im commuting from home. Good luck to you all <3</p>
<p>Same as everyone else : fed up with high school, and ready for college. 
Just need to get over this hell week with AP tests and it’ll be all downhill from there. Also excited to get away from my super strict parents and the sub-par academics of my high school.</p>
<p>I’m definitely ready for high school to end lol. I’m really excited for college in the fall I will miss my friends but I’m ready to go off to college and live in the dorms and meet new people. Suprisingly im neither nervous nor scared.</p>
<p>Scared and excited. But mostly scared…</p>
<p>I’m excited for high school to end and all that, but I’m just so anxious about pretty much everything that comes with college (being away from home, having to make new friends, more rigorous workload). Gaaahhhh… 
I hope I’ll be able to get over it before school starts.</p>
<p>Of course im nervous and scared but im also excited as hell. The nervousness comes from the impending social change but the stress if from how im gonna pay for it.</p>
<p>Mostly worried that it will be a repeat of high/ middle school when it comes to drama/ friend situation. Not really worried about academics, I’ll be fine.</p>
<p>I’m excited, mostly. The college I chose is a fantastic fit socially and academically. </p>
<p>I’m also nervous, partly because of AP exams so soon, but some of it’s worrying that I’ll be overwhelmed.</p>
<p>Nervous but extremely excited. I’m sure i can make it in the world so im not tooo nervous. I am tad concerned about the people i meet, I doubt anybody out in the world can top the awesome friends i have now.</p>
<p>At first, I was wicked excited and still am, just a bit toned down since the nervousness in me is rising 
I’m even scared for my summer orientation coming up in late June since my parents won’t be able to come with me 
I’m nervous about not making new friends. I’m scared for the academics since I hear the school I’m going to has a veryveryvery rigorous workload. I’m excited for meeting new people. I’ll be excited to go dorm shopping! 
I’ll be sad about being a part from my parents since I’m their only child and I’ll miss sleeping in my room and eating home-cooked meals. Since I’m their only child, I don’t know how my parents are going to live without me. Can’t wait to leave HS once and for all, but at the same time I want to hold on to it a little bit longer.</p>
<p>Too many emotions, you know?</p>
<p>I’m petrified, but not for the reasons posted here.</p>
<p>I’m not worried about living away from family. I practically do it already. I’ve spent extended lengths of time away often. No big deal there. Socially I’m not worried. My school has enough to help with that. I’m not so stressed when it comes to academics. Whatever. I’m absolutely terrified, however, of budgeting. I have no family assistance, unless you count the minimal trust fund left over from my father’s death. I somehow have to pay for food, rent, tuition, books and everything on my own with the minimal financial aid I got. I think I’ll be fine, but I don’t want to be a staving college student.</p>
<p>Anxious. Mostly because I STILL DON’T KNOW WHERE THE HECK I’M GOING!!</p>

<p>I’m so excited it’s ridiculous. High school needs to be over right now. I’m kind of scared as well though. I hope academically school isn’t too difficult.</p>
<p>wow! I didn’t expect much of these replies! Anyways, from what I can see by reading all of your posts, we’re all having these mixed emotions…
Right now, I’m feeling excited to see my HS life finally ends but also at the same time, I feel so overwhelmed because there’s just still so much more to learn about…life in general! And I’m REALLY going to be independent…living without my parents and leaving my friends. I guess I got a little scared because I have to come out of my comfort zone for the first time in my life. However, I guess that’s what almost every incoming freshman has to go through eh?</p>
<p>Anyways, thanks for all the replies! I’m feeling a lot better now. And to the Class of 2015, we have amazing days ahead of us. Let’s make the best four years of our life! Good Luck to you all :)</p>
<p>Yeah, 2015 get pumped haha.</p>
<p>I think the excitement and nervousness are both the same thing, what differentiates one from the other is whether or not you think you can handle the upcoming challange.</p>
<p>That being said, people who put enough energy to research and question and analyze like all of us do, probably have a pretty advantageous position when it comes to success in college.</p>
<p>Good luck to all.</p>
<p>Haha, I’m terrified. I mean, everyone’s filled in the “anxious, nervous…” part, but me? I’m scared out of my mind. I mean, It’s huge. And I’m so ready to jump into dorm life and everything, but for someone as awkward as me… it’s scary, exhilarating… hah. I’ll tell you when I find the right words.</p>
<p>Right now I’m impatient and excited and absolutely thrilled. I’m going to Rice, and the more I learn about it and the more I talk to my future classmates on facebook the more excited I get.</p>
<p>I probably won’t get nervous until right before, and I don’t think it’ll last long. Maybe a little sad at leaving people behind, since most of my friends are staying instate.</p>
<p>So yeah, mostly just anticipation. High school hasn’t been the greatest time for me, but college sounds like a dream come true.</p>
