So I just realized it.
I wasn't sure if I should put this in the school or life category, but I decided that it fit better in the life category.
Anywho, I just realized today that I am actually starting college next year. I mean, I knew about it for a long time of course, but I really just realized it today when I was looking through a catalog the University of Minnesota sent me about freshman stuff. I don't know why, but it just hit me. I wasn't going to be with the teachers I am familiar with, or most of my friends. I am not leaving my house or anything, but a lot of my friends are going to different colleges, some in different states. For the longest time, I was anticipating graduation and I still am, but I'm a little sad. I just can't believe that I am going to be an adult and that I am starting a new chapter in my life. I am really excited to start college though, don't get me wrong. I just can't believe it's coming so soon. I always thought of college being years away in my head, but it's not years away anymore, its months away. No more college prep and advanced placement classes, it's just college classes. The thought of doing bad in my classes next year really scares me, since I want to go to medical school, and I know I need really good grades to get in. I feel that if I screw up, I am potentially messing up my life.
I just needed to get that out.

enjoy it, college is fun! (and this is coming from someone studying sciences, don't despair, it's not ALL workworkworkwork)
just make sure you focus, there will probably be a bit of an adjustment (my workload increased LIKE HELL) but like...you just get used to it.
idk I find college 278351 times harder than high school but I still like it a lot better =)

As a freshman who moved 3,000 miles away from home to an extremely prestigious college where every student is, let's face it, a genius, I'm here to tell you that a year from now, you'll be feeling just fine. I am also here to tell you that unfortunately, your childhood is essentially over, but that you can achieve freedom through your own work.
