Assignment #7 - Megan Ewing - College is Terrifying

The prospect of college is terrifying. From leaving home, living on my own for the first time, and having a whole new level of responsibility, both to classes and myself, I freeze up every time someone asks me about it. Not to mention the stress that comes with making such a major life choice as to where to get what kind of education. My older sister moved out for college this past August and these few months without her help have been challenging but also a relief. I feel more like my own person and I know my own identity will grow with time, especially after I go to college myself. In addition to that, I look forward to learning how to truly take care of myself. A few weeks ago while I was visiting my grandparents, my grandmother explained to me how important being independent for a few years is. Even if you get married right after college and never live alone again, you need to know that you can. So. in college, no matter where I go, I want to learn how to be myself and how to start taking care of myself without any help.
