To haunting, the task is daunting

     I feel as though my whole world is changing. Maybe it's just a post high school graduate thing, or maybe it's just me. My dog moved to Texas with my sister, I got a new haircut, I bought a new phone, I have a job, I'm finally completely moving on with something thats been bothering me for a year! I might be being a bit dramatic, but seeing as the last three years of my life have basically consisted of me going to cheer and the same activities, change is uncommon!
      I don't know how to be a college kid. I feel like now that I'm out of high school I should be sweet like all of my friends and hang out with older peeps, but I don't know how to do that! I've had the same friends for as long as I can remember. It scares me, what if I am terrible at college and I don't meet any new people and nobody wants to be my friend? What if I don't want to hang out with the same people as my friends but I don't meet the type of people I want to be friends with? Everyone tells me Dixie is going to be 13th grade, but I really don't want it to be that way. I know it's not mature of me to worry about these kinds of things, but I'm 18 and immature so what do you expect? I have so many things I want to do and accomplish but what if I fear I wont have the time or money to pursue them. The list could go on but I guess the only way to go forward is to put all my fears aside and just do what I've got to do. I think the only sensible thing to do is to move to Peru for 6 months. Alright that might not sound so sensible but it's what I want to do! Hopefully next May a good friend and me will be packing our bags. You know who you are :)

  3. Maddi,

    I just want to tell you that you are going to do AWESOME at DIxie State! And those lame-balls that call it thirteenth grade, feel like it's thirteenth grade because that's what they make it. Seriously, your college experience will be what you make it, just like every other experience in life. Happiness isn't a place or even the college you choose to go to, it's a state of mind, an attitude if you will. :) Seriously you could go to the COOLEST university in the world and still have a bad time if you didn't try to make it a good experience. Also, you'll find friends. Come on, you're the coolest ever. You're going to make a butt-load of friends and you'll be sick of hanging out before you know it. Just go to the silly college and institute activities, firesides, and your YSA ward and put yourself out there. College is a lot like high school, but more. More independence, more fun, more hard work, more homework, more tests, more friends... etc.

    Anyway, now that I've said a whole lot of stuff...don't worry and have fun. It's totally normal to be nervous, everyone is. You'll love it.

    Peace & MUCHO Love!!
