Things are changing and people are making plans to leave. Change your life and make your plans go where you want. Go somewhere different than the crowd.

As Robert Frost once wrote, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

It's okay not to want the same thing as everyone else. You just spent four years with all of your classmates, why would you want to spend four more years with the same people? You may love these people, but imagine how many other people are out there for you to love! Grow up and go your own way. Make your own story. Create the life that YOU want, not the life that someone else wants you to have. It can be scary, but I promise you it is worth it. Have faith that you can do all things.

Going away to college can be very scary because EVERYTHING is new. You move to a new state, into a new room, with a new person. That is also extremely exciting! You have been given the opportunity to experience all of these new things! Take that chance! You can always go home, but find your new home!
