College Life

Freshmen Year

Post Senior Year

Thursday is my freshmen orientation. I am more than slightly nervous. I am very nervous, mostly because I have no clue what to expect. They tell us what we will be doing, but I don't know how to do these things. Basically, this is where my fear of new things really takes a major affect in my life.
With no doubts, I am sure everything will go well, but it's in my nature to worry anyways.

Now that I've officially graduated, people keep asking me if I feel any different since I know I am not going back to high school next year. The answer to that question is both, yes, and no.

No, I don't feel any different really. I mean, let's be serious, high school just ended less than a week ago. I am still looking through prom and graduation pictures that seem to appear in my news feed on Facebook every two minutes. I also haven't lost contact with any friends from graduation yet. My prediction is that once all the grad parties are over, and orientations have ended, and we've all started meeting new people, that is when it will sink in that I am no longer a high school student.

Yes, on occasion I start thinking about how I don't ever have to see the people I've strongly disliked over the past four years, and I am overjoyed. But that is pretty much the only aspect of life that has changed for me. (Besides the fact that I occasionally work till 10 now at work)

Nevertheless; I am excited to pick classes, meet new people to enjoy coffee with, and have a pretty kick ass summer. So here I go, into the world, as an adult? Gulp. Scary, isn't it?
