First Week Emotions at FSU!

When i first got to FSU I felt an immediate rush of freedom. I knew for the first time I would be on my own, not just for a weekend, but for six whole weeks. I was so excited and just wanted to get out there and meet a bunch of new people. when it was time for my parents to finally say goodbye after all the packing was done, reality set in. How am I going to be able to function on my own when my parents naturally did so much for me with out question. Then the tears began to flow and a sense of vulnerability ran through my entire body. I was still here, and they were seven hours away. When they left, me and my roommate went and explored the campus and were very pleased with the atmosphere. Everyone smiled and talked to you, and even waited to hold the door for you. that would never happen in my high school. Then I went out that night and had so much fun and met so many people just like me, and i realized you have to grow up at some point in time. my time was now, and I was ready.
