Leaving for College!

Well, in two days I'm leaving home for good (besides breaks and stuff obvs) and, like all college students I'm assuming, I'm pretty nervous and it's a crazy mixture of emotions right now. On one hand, my best friend is going to a college a few hours away and we can't be homies anymore. On the other hand, I'm a damn adult now and get to do whatever I want. My parents have always been great, but it's an invigorating feeling. Finally, freedom.

I'm attending Indiana University. Got a tasty scholarship, majoring in Psychology, have a pretty sweet schedule for my first semester (only class on Tuesdays and Thursday? Sociology from 10-11:30. That's the sweetest thing ever). It will all be especially easier to cope because my girlfriend of almost two years is heading down with me. I know all you folks are old here, so just so you know: two year relationships in high school are practically legendary and we deserve a medal.

So there's my little personal spiel that some of you may or may not read. I was just wondering, how many have you been to college? I'd really like to hear what your first experiences were like. Make me feel a little bit better (or worse) about this significant change in my life!

Update approximately a year later:

I'm still with the same girl that I mentioned in the first post. Going on 3 years. We'll be living together next year.

My only real worry at this point in my life is about money (my job pays absolutely nothing, rent is about $600 a month...I don't really know how we'll do it). But anyway, we'll figure it out.

So there's that.
