My life in boxes

Four storage bins, two under the bed bins, one suit case and one shoe bag ago I realized something; pretty soon I'll begin my journey as a college student. A real live college student, dorm and all. I find it hard to believe that three days from now I will be six hours away from home. Six hours away from friends.Six hours away from everything familiar.Leaving the only place you have known for 18 years can go one of two ways. You can hate it and come back home (nah) or love it and stay forever(maybe). I don't know about the stay forever part but I plan to make the most out of college. The good, the bad and the worst.

The only thing I can say for sure I'm not going to miss is this feeling. You know the one, kind of sad because your leaving all the people you love, happy to get away, anxious for all the new things that await. I think I'll call this feeling "up, down and somewhere in between". I'll explain, an example of an Up is I get to decorate my dorm room. Example of a down, I'll miss my boyfriend. Example of an in between, I have no idea what college is going to be like. Still I say I'm not going to miss this feeling because well I prefer to be a bit more stable with my emotions. Crying when I think about being away from my grandma and jumping for joy on my bed the next day is getting pretty old. Enough said.

So when the time comes for me to unpack my life in my new dorm room I'm hoping for three things. One, I hope all my stuff fits on my side (trunk party's get the job done) two, I hope that the food is good(if not no freshmen 15 for me) and three that I packed enough pictures to look at and cry over. The old memories are made and more are yet to come.
