Morning is mocking me...
I'm just kind of lying awake here, thinking, listening to music. About a half hour ago, I made my sister and me tea, because she was coughing so hard she couldn't sleep and she couldn't use her inhaler again (she's only supposed to use it so many times a day). Poor kid. Every time she gets a cold, all she does is cough--and she coughs for months ( Read more... )
I do actually have some good advice about college, though. I moved from Texas to the University of Mississippi (7 hours from home, which doesn't sound like much but it is) where I knew quite literally no one. It was the best thing I've ever done. I got a chance to grow up and start over in a place where no one had any preconceived notions about who I should be. I got to really get to know myself without my parents' opinions constantly hovering. I mean, my parents are awesome and everything, and I miss them a lot, but it was nice to learn things without them for a change.
I also found a great new group of friends by talking to people in the dorms and wearing nerdy shirts and carrying the books that I love around. I quite literally found three of my best friends through Harry Potter paraphernalia. ^_^
But, yes, it sucks to be away from home for that long, and homesickness can be pretty rough, but you'll get through it just fine.
Congrats on making a decision!
