I graduated this year and I've been so ready to move to college since. I know that college will be way different than the last 4 years of my life.
Remember that everyone there wants friends
I know it can be hard to really "put yourself out there" but at college, you have to. You have to make connections and build relationships with people. These are the relationships that count and that will mean the most to you.
This is your chance to start over
This isn't high school. No one knows you, where you're from, who you're with, and most people don't even know your name. Go out there and be yourself. Enjoy yourself.
Watch your money spending
Get a job and try to keep it. It's ok to treat yourself every once in a while for sure, but keywords: once in a while. Remember you have loans to pay, books to get, gas for your car, etc. Save up money as much as possible now before you leave.
Stay Organized
It's not necessarily your backpack I'm worried about being organized...it's your room. You're a clean person yes, but when you are in a hurry, you just throw stuff in a drawer and then later on when you actually need that ONE item you threw in the drawer, you'll start to have a mini panic attack and think you lost it. So just try to take your time with stuff and keep things in their same spot so you don't lose it.
