Tomorrow, I will say good bye to my hometown. I will say goodbye to everything that is so familiar in my life. I would be lying if I told you I wasn't sad or scared. I'm not scared to leave my family even though I know I will miss them a lot. I am scared to leave everything that has been so comfortable and normal to me. Whether it's the drive I take to work, my hometown, or even my favorite restaurants, things are going to change. I will no longer be five minutes away from my best friends or get to see them almost everyday. I am scared to have to learn how to do things by myself without my parents there by my side. There is so much comfort that is in my life and tomorrow I will have to shake things up and find a new area of comfort.
Honestly, I feel like most incoming freshmen feel this way. And it is not that I am not excited because I am extremely excited -- it's just that I am nervous and want everything to go smoothly. I want to meet awesome people, have fun, and do well in my classes. I want college to be the best four years of my life, and it's scary not knowing what will come out of college.
College will be a new adventure for me and the rest of the incoming freshmen. I am thankful for this new opportunity to learn and grow in a different setting. And I'm sure that when I actually get to college I will be fine!
So tomorrow I am saying goodbye to my hometown. I'm saying goodbye to all of the wonderful memories and people. I am ready for this new step in my life and am excited to explore my new "hometown." I realized that saying goodbye to my home is not really goodbye, it is merely a "see ya later!"
