I'm beginning to notice this trend among my friends where they're all starting to panic about how they're leaving or how all of their friends are leaving them. I'm actually starting to worry as well, which is not something I expected to happen. I'm sure Albany and a change of scenery will be good for me, but how much will have changed when I get back next year? What if my one friend turns into a Jesus freak like her family? What if my dog dies? What will happen to my insane friends when I'm not here to keep them calm a little? WHAT IF ANDREA LEAVES ARBY'S? I'm going to miss my friends. I really am. Maybe even my family a little, as improbable as that seems. How am I going to adjust to no longer having another country only a twenty minute drive away? How will I deal with those damn annoying Long Island accents? I can already tell that Albany is going to be a huge difference then the sheltered little world I grew up in, not so much the excessive partying that goes on there but the fact that I'm going to come into contact with people that are so different from what I know. I'm going to be a minority! What if no one understands me when I say pop? My worst fear of all is that I will come back to Buffalo saying soda. I may as well shoot myself then. What if I don't get to say goodbye to all my friends because I'm grounded?
