WILD THICKET

Anonymous asked: Was it stressful/upsetting being dropped off at college on Thursday? i'm going next week and i'm terrified! Xx

It was upsetting but I think it’s very natural, we’ve spent our whole lives with our parents and all of sudden, we’re off on our own. I took the train and right as I said goodbye to my mom, I started crying. The lady that sat next to me must have thought I was crazy because my eyes were red from crying. The first day I was here I was sad and not really in the mood to do anything. It’s gotten better since I’ve been here and I’m really enjoying things at the moment. It still feels a bit strange not seeing my family everyday but I like the independence and I can always talk to them on the phone/emails/webchat. It’s okay for you to be terrified. I know the experience is different for everyone and some people aren’t nervous at all but we are starting over all on our own (as cheesy and cliche as that might sound) and it takes some getting used to. Just remember that you’re going to a new place and you’ll have fun and meet new people. It’s scary but it’s worth it! Good luck! x
