September 5, 2011 - First Ever Blog.

So, this is my first ever blog.  Don't criticize me too harshly. I'm basically just going to vent my feelings and thoughts.  I good stress reliever.  Anyway, I guess I should write about my college experience so far.

On Thursday, the 25th, as soon as my mom got out of school, we went home to meet up with my dad and my sister, loaded my car, and departed for Greenville, shedding many tears, of course.  I'll never forget that feeling of leaving home to go to somewhere on my own.  It was so overwhelming.  I just couldn't seem to stop the tears.  On the way out of town, I stopped at the local hair salon to get a new hair feather (the current trend) replaced, while my dad and sister went and picked up some late lunch.  After the short stop, we were on our way, with five hours of driving ahead of us.  The whole trip, my sister was using the app HeyTell on my dad's iPhone, and we were, in a sense, "walkie-talkie-ing."  We played the game 20 questions a lot. When arriving at Nana and Pawpaw's house, we went inside for some much awaited Mario's pizza and salad. One of the main reasons why I so look forward to coming to Greenville.

Then, on the 26th, it was the big day.  The day I'd been nervous about for like a century.  On the way to the college, my stomach was seriously in knots.  I felt like I was going to puke the whole ride there.  I think partially the fear of rejection or the fear of not fitting in. I always seem to have those kinds of thoughts running through my head.  But as soon as I got here, I immediately felt like I was included, and all of those fears went down the tubes.

So, to sum up this blog, I seemed to fear going to college, but now that I'm here, I absolutely love it..(:
