As the school year ends, a new beginning is approaching for all seniors: college, whether it be a university or junior college. My nerves are going crazy, but not only for me, for my siblings who know I am leaving and for my parents who can’t wait for me to pursue my future although the journey may seem too far away.

I applied to four colleges, Chico State, San Jose State, San Diego State, and Cal Poly- SLO which all have beautiful campuses where I would love to be a new student; however, I am still awaiting on acceptance a letter telling about my future.

All my friends are waiting for acceptance letters, so I am not alone, but knowing their plans about how they want their future to turn out scares me a lot also because I don’t really know all that I want yet.  My high school years have gone by so quickly, I wish they hadn’t and I could have experienced more to prepare me for living and being on my own.

The thought of living in a dorm seems fun, but knowing I have to meet people who I have never met before and live with a roommate kind of gives me a mini-heart attack. I am so used to being home with my family or with my close friends, but living with other people who might have bad habits or may have personality issues makes me worry about moving out of my house and makes me want to stay at home forever.

Awaiting my future leaves me with an anxious feeling that hasn’t gone away since I submitted my applications.
