First Time For Everything

Moving into college was probably one of the scariest things I had to face. Since freshman year of high school I just wanted to get out of my town and go to college. The night before move-in I started to think is I really ready? This summer I worked three jobs and spent a lot of time at home. So it was hitting me hard that my little sister would be by herself all the time. That I won't wake up to hear my parents laughing at each other about events that happened the night before at a party before or wake up on Saturday mornings to the salsa music playing because it was cleaning day. My family is very close and pretty big at that. So it was also hitting me that I wont see my little cousin every weekend like I use to since I was little. This will be the first time that I would be away from my family. I didn't know how I would take it. But within the first week I think that my parents miss me more then I miss them. They call me more then once just to say hi.  I was also nervous what if I didn’t like Southern just like I didn’t like my high school. I love the freedom that I'm getting College. Southern is more diverse then high school not just with everybody’s nationality but also with people’s beliefs. Coming here I feel more like myself. This has been the first time I felt like this since forever. People here are just so friendly and open and I can say I’m starting to love this college life. I know that classes , the work , and finding a job but College will be a new challenge that I'm more then excited to accomplish and overcome.
