So, this is my first blog post and I don't know how this works or who sees this. So who every you are, enjoy!

So, college. I just moved in yesterday into my dorm room and got settled in and so far everything is going great! Kinda. My dorm room is basically my own with a shared bathroom connecting to my roomate. My roomate is a friend from my high school and even though we're not the best of friends we thought it was better to room with people we knew. Anyway, I've been moved in for about a day now and I was with my parents all day yesterday and everything was fine. Then my parents left and that's when I realized that I'm alone. My 2 best friends from my high school are going to different schools and right now the thought of having to start over is terrifying for me. Making new friends. Building new relationships. Living by myself. It doesn't seem like much, but it feels like too much. I still have to buy text books, organize my closet, and I have yet to explore outside of my room, but I'm looking at things with an open mind. I'll be going to different events throughout the weekend and hopefully get a feel for campus life. I need to still run errends so that I'm not unprepared when classes start on tuesday. Long story short, I still got a crap load of things to do.

My current state of mind is that I'm scared, anxious, nervous, and every other emotion, but I think I'm ready. I see this as only the beginning of my life. I believe I can conquer college just as I did with high school, middle school, elementary school, day care, and so on. I believe I can make new friends. I believe I can live on my own. I believe I can be the best me that I can and everything that's happened in my life until this point has prepared me for that. I might get lonely and I might get scared, but I know I can be happy and I can surround myself with people that will help me become a better me. Right now, it's just a matter of getting out of my room. I might not be ready this instant, but I will be ready when I walk out that door. So wish me luck as I go on in my new adventure.

Good luck to all of you who are starting your new adventure in life. Whether it be school, work, or just life in general. I wish you luck.
