Moving away to school was the best decision I made when choosing a school. It was definitely scary at first because I have never been away from my close-knit family, but the memories I’ve made and the people I’ve met have made it all worthwhile. Starting over in a new state, knowing absolutely no one, is the best way to truly find yourself and push your own boundaries.
It’s fair to say that these lessons are pretty self-explanatory, but you never realize how true they are until you are forced to recognize them.
