Scares of Living on Campus

   When you first hear of living on your own as a high school senior. This idea sounds amazing, having your own space, don't have to deal with your parents etc. Then as the summer goes on you gather stuff you need to live on your own. This is when scares start to kick in. I have to do my own laundry , I have to make my own food, or I have to manage my meal card money so I don't run out. Let me tell you this is just the beginning. Just around two weeks before you move in it kicks in a little more. What if I don't get along with my roommate, what if I run out of money, what if I get locked out of my room, what if I forget something how am I going to be able to get it. Before you know it, it's move in day hundreds of cars lined up all across campus. Have zero clue where your dorm is. The final stage of the scares is on you once you are all moved in and you watch your parents driving out of the parking lot and now you know you are on your own. Cant go and give your mom and big hug when having a bad day. Can't go and lay in your own bed after a long practice. But we all figure out ways to make it work, from calling home or taking a weekend off and visiting the family. So, if you haven't ever experienced the scares this is them.
