College has always, before this, seemed more of a fantasy than a possibility. I've seen friends go to university, talk about campus life, courses, classes, fun with friends, the whole package. Especially the independence and freedom.
Now, with one week to go, before I leave for university, its a barrage of emotions. On some level, I cannot believe that this is really happening, that I'm actually going! There is this sense of weird unreality, but underneath all that is this wild excitement and anticipation. Of course, there are the usual insecurities; whether I'll fit in properly, whether I'll succeed, whether I'll get everything that I can out of this whole experience....
One thing I am sure of is, that this is a turning point, a life changer. Whatever happens, I'll never be the same again, after this. And I think, that after all the stagnation, this is exactly what I need, that push out of the rut. I'll finally have the reins back in my hands, and it is now up to me which road I take.
Like Robert Frost said - " The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep."
