So i'm leaving to college in a few days?

Question

and i'm having mixed feelings, like one moment im super happy and the next im sad for leaving my hometown

is this absolutely normal?

anybody have advice on how to calm my nerves and not feel so confused?

Answer 1

it will be fine just look forward to the new experience and remember you always get to go home eventually....its a big change just expect it to not be easy and perfect and you will realize its not as hard as you might think.  my parents moved away from my home town after i graduated high school so i made sure to be in good contact with friends via cell phone and facebook and made sure to stay in touch sometimes.  i go visit them when i can and go home....things will change at home as friends branch out....soon college will be more stable and typical to you and you'll have new friends and maintain your truest friends at home.... life will be good and the nerves are apart of the experience, I have been to two schools after transferring and gone through the jitters twice

Answer 2

the same thing happened with me and it continued till at last i reached my destiny.it will all stop automatically like this only..............................

Answer 3

Yes, this is perfectly normal, especially if you are leaving home.  You are probably excited about the prospect of having more freedom and meeting new people but at the same time, you have to leave behind what you are already familiar with such as your family and friends.

The good thing is that you will be surrounded by people like you and that is a bond in itself, besides the fact that you will be running around with your peers with no parental supervision and very little rules.  You are going to have so much fun that you will initially forget your hometown for a while.  It is definitely normal to get homesick too.  Also keep in mind that your parents are probably feeling the similar mixed feelings as you do.  I think all Moms cry when they drop off their kids at college for the first time and have to drive away.  Make sure you spend time with people who matter to you before you go away because you may never see some of your high school friends ever again.

I'd suggest that you plan things.  You should plan what you will bring, including the things that you will decorate your new room.  Also find out ways you can come back home if you want such as cost of plane tickets.  The more knowledge you have, the less nervous you will be.
