It all feels like a dream

Well, here I am. I'm laying in bed blogging on a Wednesday night (almost Thursday :P). I leave in five days, and move-in day is in exactly a week. I'm not quite sure how I got to this point. I feel as though my life has been going by in fast-forward. It feels like just yesterday I was on my way to Dreher for the first day of my freshman year. I remember seeing my friend Colin waiting at the bus stop (he was still at Hand at the time) and I shouted out the window "I'm going to Dreher, baby!!" Oh how naive I was, thinking that high school would be a great experience. Don't get me wrong, I met some really awesome people and had a lot of fun those short few years, but I was definitely ready to get outta there. Now I'm not quite so sure. School just started up again and it feels so weird not waking up every morning for seminary, and then going to the same place I've been going for years, and seeing the same faces that I've known all my life. I don't feel ready, to be perfectly honest. I know I act all confident and grown-up, but to be honest, I'm kinda scared. Not so much of college itself, but I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna react to NOT waking up in Columbia, South Carolina every morning, or driving down the roads I've been driving down for years, or being around the same friends (and of course, my family) that I've spent my whole life with. Well, there's no turning back now. My dorm room is waiting, my schedule is complete, and the plane tickets are booked. Time to pack away 17 years worth of memories and move on.

  3. You sound exactly like me 12 years ago. It's like reading my own journal.
