First, CONGRATULATIONS! Because you've managed to get this far, to realize that there is life after high school, and for finding something/some place where you will be happy. That's a big accomplishment in my eyes and I think you've really done it. You've thought through it and worked for it and now you'll be there!

I'm SO excited for you! I know the last year for me has been phenomenal with discovering a new environment, meeting new people, doing new things. It's been the absolute best.

Just remember something: everyone that you meet is different; they all have different pasts and many of them will have had bad high school experiences and are looking forward to the fresh start college provides. So that means, you're on even ground. And just be yourself, no matter how shy or anything, because I know that they'll all love you and you'll have a lot of fun.

I'm very excited for you and I wish you the best of luck! And I look forward to reading your posts about it all!
