My introduction

So when I say Next Big Adventure, I mean college. I am an 18 year old girl, who graduated on her birthday, getting ready for her first semester of college.  AHHHHHH!

So I know you're probably thinking, why freak out? It's just college. Well... it's the first time I'll be really on my own EVER. I've never been away from home long and I know that I'm going to be really lonely and homesick. I'm going 4 hours away from the people I'm familiar with and the places I know and the foods I'm use to. I know that the food there won't differ much from what I usually eat, but there's still stuff that I'll have to get use to.

Am I feeling a little whiny about this? A little bit, but maybe it's to hide the fact that I'm nervous about going away for the first time for months on end. Maybe it's to hide that I'm nervous about even going to college, because I doubt myself so much, academically. I don't really know. But there you have it. I wish I could explain it all, but then I'd have to understand my current feelings to you guys.

So right now I'm in the middle of cleaning/purging my room of trash and books and stuff like that, as well as beginning to pack stuff up. I keep getting distracted by my things when I find stuff I haven't seen/read/watched in MONTHS. That's normally okay, but my mom is pressuring me to get this stuff done soon so we aren't rushing the week before to get all of this done. So I spend my days slowly working my way through my art stuff and clothing and books and such. Very slowly.

On the plus side: I'm ready to leave home for the first time for months on end. I've been ready for a very long time.

Well until next week... Au Revoir!
