I start a new chapter of my life tomorrow. It is move-in day for freshmen at my university. This is going to be my first time living away from home. Am I freaking out a little? Yes. Am I going to tell anyone that tomorrow? Probably not. I realize that freaking out is not going to help anything, and this rational thinking does make me feel better but there is still that little layer of anxiety making a home for itself inside me, causing an aching in my chest. It is like I have one more day to live and today is that day. I already made quite a few friends at orientation, and I look forward to seeing them, but there will still be a lot of people I do not know. It is definitely going to be an adventure for me. Luckily, my brother is a year ahead of me and will be moving in on Saturday along with the rest of the student body so tomorrow will not be goodbye quite yet. Also, my university has a program to keep the freshmen busy so we will not have time to feel homesick. As of right now I feel like I am forgetting something, though I am sure I am over-packing. It kind of feels like I am not even leaving, like it has not hit me yet or something. Today I spent the day seeing The Mortal Instruments movie and getting fro yo and Taco Bell with Jordan, hanging out with my wonderful family in the evening, calling my amazing grandparents to tell them goodbye, doing last minute packing, and trying to give as many kisses to Ushi as possible. I do not feel like I can say that I am not ready for tomorrow because I have had more than enough time to prepare, and obviously going away to college is the next logical step in my life. But I can honestly say that I do feel ready even when the anxiety comes in waves.
I am going to try to continue working on this blog, but I do not know what a typical week for me will be like this school year until I actually experience it. But I will try to keep everyone updated as much as I can!
P.S. On Friday I am planning on having a post on what I wore on move-in day!

DeleteThank you for following me you have a lovely blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI started uni two years ago, oh my gosh it's so scary moving in! I've never been so excited and so scared at the same time! I cried when my parents left me, but I think most people do! But within an hour I was fine and loving it! And I'm sure you will be too :) xx
Thank you so much! I am going to try to keep it together but I probably won't! lol
