My Lion King Forum

Although I would never ever ever ever ever admit it too my friends in real life, I am sooooooooooo nervous! Today, I leave for collegeand even though I'm really happy and excited, I can't help but feel a little scared. I finally get to meet my roomate who I've been e-mailing the past couple if weeks and get settled in my new dorm. All week I've been complaining about how I can't wait to go butnow that I am, I feel like there's a pit in my stomach and my hands are practically shaking. I can't wait for the new adventure up ahead but at the same time I'm still so nervous!

It's perfectly alright to be nervous. College is really a blast tough. It's the first step towards personal independence.

I hope so the university isn't that far away but it's the farthest I've ever traveled and I don't have any relatives of friends up there.

Don't worry, you're not alone to feel nervous about college. I'm also starting college really soon (on the 22nd of august) and I'm also feeling really stressed and nervous about it. I can't help but to feel more and more stressed as this day is comming nearer. That's kind of weird if I consider that I've been waiting for this day for a long time. But I guess it is normal as it somewhat represent a big step (or first step) in someone's life. Don't worry, I'm sure it'll all be fine. =P

Let's wish each other luck!

Thanks Tekir good luck to you too. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who's nervous.

It's normal to be nervous, everyone who was/is in your postion was the exact same. Trust me. ^^ You'll be fine. Just think to yourself 'I Can do this' then you'll be fine. x)

Thanks KP everyone says so, I'm sure I will be fine but it's still kinda scary but in a good way if that makes any sense lol.

Another pointer...don't rush to join a whole group of friends or anything. Feel out people to see how they are. Don't join a "clique" just to feel cool.

I'm not really a "clique" kind of person, but good point, I'll remember that

I dunno, College over there seems to be different. We do not actually have dorms at colleges here XD.
I will say though that the actual College work itself (based on my experience) is a lot easier than it is cracked up to be, if that is any kind of consolation to you.
