Let me just start out by saying that I HATE change. I like to be comfortable and know everything that is going on. But like thousands of other 18 year old kids, I just started my freshman year in college. I had to say bye to everything that I knew for the past 18 years and, for the most part, start a whole new life living on my own with people that I don't even know. Scary? I think so.
All summer, I couldn't wait to get here. I wanted to get away from my parent's and all there rules, away from my high school, and most importantly, away from my 11:30 PM curfews on Friday and Saturday nights. I was 18 years old and going to college; I wanted freedom.
On September 4th, 2011, I got my freedom when my parents said goodbye sand drove away. Now, I could do anything I wanted and they wouldn't be there to tell me know or to put restrictions on everything I do. I'm now 3 weeks in and I'll admit, I miss my mom telling me when to do my homework and forcing me to get it done! Now, I have so much time on my hands, and I've learned that I'm not that great at managing it.
I will say that I love being able to do what I want with my weekends, but I do miss the structure of being at home with my parents. Although I'm sort of freaking out about my school work and all this time, I'm learning how to deal with it. So this change is good, right?
