<p>I just thought I would make a thread so we could all post what we are most excited for about boarding school. </p>
<p>Not going to lie. I am most excited about picking out my bedding. I have been looking at the PB teen magazine ALL day.</p>
<p>Ohmigosh.</p>
<p>I know, I think I’m more excited for the actual buying everything than using it at the moment.</p>
<p>XD</p>
<p>Having a roommate. Being totally independent. Able to go to NYC and Boston.</p>
<p>all the new clothes i get to buy!!
since boarding is up north and i’m way down south, i definitely have to get loads of new clothes for the weather…
my mom promised me j. crew wellies or whatever they call them… 
(that makes me sound spoiled, but it’s freakin spring so it’ll probably be cheap… i hope. i haven’t checked the website yet).</p>
<p>I’m excited to meet the people. I’ve always been a people person. I love meeting people. </p>
<p>I can’t help but be excited. I really love being in a new environment with new people, because of how amazing people are. That sounds so stupid, but I just can’t wait to meet people that I will be with for two years.</p>
<p>I hate buying new clothes… So I’ll have to deal with it.</p>
<p>@hershey
You don’t sound spoiled at all!!! You need to come to Jersey. We have some of the richest towns in the country (I don’t live in one but I got school in one) You expect the kids to spoiled rotten.
Like Prom for example: I think if you add up how much everyone spent for on their attire, it would come out to about $200,000. Actually probably more. I’m only spending about $1000 (500 on dress, 500 on jewelry and shoes) but I don’t want to know what some of my other friends are spending.</p>
<p>I guess that might make me sound spoiled…d@mmit</p>
<p>omg, $120, 000?!?!
that’s crazy…</p>
<p>that’s like, 3 yrs of tuition at exeter!!!</p>
<p>we’re going shopping today, so i’m hoping that my mom will be nice and buy me a couple things because i got into boarding…
i doubt it though, they’re always like, “the tuition is SO expensive!” and they glare at me. (as a joke. but it’s getting really annoying now…)</p>
<p>it is a little crazy.<br>
I really think it might be closer to 200,000 though.
Like compared to some of the things my friends are getting, my $1000 is really not that much.
I’m trying to cut down though because of the recession. I really feel bad that my parents have to spend so much on me for like tuition and all the stuff I need for school</p>
<p>oh… me too…
i just came back from the mall and i just bought wellies from j. crew that were only $30 (compared to the original $115) and a pair of gloves. </p>
<p>i’m planning on just buying what i need when i get my list and stuff.
i’m already really thankful that my parents are paying for my tuition and stuff.</p>
