You may have been at a previous school that just did not rub you right or you spent the past two years at a community college just figuring out what you wanted to do as a major or who you wanted to be. This fall you will be moving out of your home and into the dorms of a new school that you have carefully selected to spend the next two or so years at. You like what they have to offer, their location, and you felt welcome when you made your visit. It's all so exciting to sign up for orientation, find your roommate, and shop for what you'll need for your dorm/apartment. It all is going by so fast and it's so exciting, but also nerve wrecking. You'll have a new group of faces to meet, new professors to learn from, classes you may not want to take and lessons you may not want to learn. The only thing you can do though when it happens is to make the best of it.

All of the hypothetical questions may hit you at once! "Will I make friends?" 'Will I be invited to parties?" "What should I do in my spare time?" "Will classes be different from my last school?" "Will I be okay on my own?" these questions could haunt you right up to your move in date and make you second guess yourself about your school even if you were a hundred percent sure about it. It is scary, everything has a beginning though. Running away from your problems will definitely not solve them, especially if those small problems cause you to be further and further away from gaining your degree, which is the most important thing in the end.

When you finally get to your school, who knows what may happen! It's college, the land of endless possibilities! You may find things you're good at and not good at, you may fall in love or out of love. What to remember is to stay focused on yourself and be true, you don't want to be someone you're not, that's what high school was for! But in all realness, do not fear what has not happened yet. It will all come at you at once but it will not be as bad as you think it will. You will make friends, you will gain a social life and you will succeed in your classes because colleges have prepared for this. Clubs and Greek Life are a great part and study groups and tutoring are also there for you. There a ton of resources that you have at your hands, so I promise you will not be alone. Don't complain about failing a class because you have the professor right there for you to help as well, that is their job. You will find a lot, you will find yourself and you will find a busy next two years indeed.
