Our first year of college is almost over. Its amazing how fast it has
gone. I know with it coming to an end means its one step closer to
being completely on our own. With that said I know I am really nervous
and scared to move on with all this. Am I the only one? I sure hope
not. Thinking about buying our own houses, working a full time job,
making payments on our own is definitely something i tend to think
about. Even if some of us go to graduate school, it is so close and it
will end before we know it.

I agree that it is amazing how quickly this year flew by. It is still hard to believe that we only have but a few weeks left of school before summer. To me it seems that the older we get, the faster our lives go by. I would say that it I am more excited by this than nervous. I am not trying to wish my life away, but I love growing older and experiencing all of the situations that come along with it. It is true that these next few years will probably come and go but all I can do is embrace it and enjoy it while I can! :)

i try not to think about this, but everytime my mom calls which is ALL THE TIME she reminds me about what im doing in the future. today is my birthday and she even brought it up at birthday supper over cake and ice cream. i dont think about it that much, or at least i try not to but shes obviously really worried about it.
I mean it is scary to think about one day living on our own to some point. You have to get things done all by yourself without someone always reminding you. However, for some people that is not for another three to six years. Right now is the time to try to not worry about all that stuff and just try to do well in school while having fun. Don't worry when it comes the time to live on your own don't stress just take it one step at a time and then you probably won't become as nervous about living on your own and you will be able to enjoy life.
It really is pretty crazy that the year is almost up. Im a little disappointed to see my freshman year end, but im ready for next year too (having my own place and getting out of the dorms.) i met a lot of knew people and got closer to the friends that i already knew. hopefully next year will bring as many memories as this year.
im not too nervous about moving on. every time ive taken a step closer to growing up (moving from jr high to high school, high school to college) the next step has been better than the last. i figure it will continue to be that way.

yea. it is kind of scary when you think abotu it that you will be thrown out into the world on your own. But going to college helps to get you ready for it. Get a good job, make alot of money, and go on with your life. College is basically the last time of your life that you're free to do what you want, so while your still here live it up. - Nate
I can't believe it either!You are not the only one.I am nervous also, but I am more excited at this point. We still have a couple more years before we are completely out of school and into the "real" world. I am trying to not worry about it but enjoy it while I can.
I know, I cant believe it either, I think this year went by really fast. We only have a couple weeks left until our first year of college is over. Sometimes I also think about when college is over then I have to start doing things on my own and starting a job, which does make me nervous. When i do start thinking of it, I dont worry about it too much because I just want to get through the rest of my years of college sucessfully.
I'm very scared and nervous when I think about how my freshman year is almost over. Just think that already my freshman year is over and i'm almost a sophomore is very scaring. Even though I will only be a sophomore, you have to think how fast freshman year went and know that probably all of them will go by that quickly. Before we know it we will be graduating and be on our own. Even thought its really scaring to think about, i'm also very excited to begin my journey to the real world.
I hate thinking about getting old! I am 19 and will be 20 soon, I still feel like a little girl. It really is amazing how fast time goes by though. I still remember my freshman year of high school. Now I am starting a new chapter where my mistakes have bigger consequences. I have already rented a house for next year with three other WVU students. A part of me is so excited to live in my own place and be able to walk in and out without having to swipe a card but the other part is actually scared. What if I dont get along with these girls, who is going to clean the house, or what if I cant pay the rent? Even though the year is coming to an end its best to take it day by day if not the stress of life and growing can haunt you.
It is all exciting to me. Yeah we all have to start paying for everything ourselves but that's part of life. You can not depend on your parents the rest of your life even tho a lot of us want to.
I really cannot even believe our freshman year is coming to an end! Its so unbelievable that simply 9 months ago we were all moving in here with completely different views and expectations on what the upcoming year had in store. Next year will, too, be so much different than this one. It won't be as easy to just walk into dorm cafeterias and grab food whenever, its now going to come down to, "what's in the fridge that I can make quickly for lunch". But on the other hand, I can honestly say that I have learned so much this year, not only about myself, or some subjects that I find pointless, but about others and how to handle myself in different situations. Its been a great year! :)
I sometimes think that far in the future and realize how fast the past few years have gone by, and how much faster the next few will. I am excited, but also nervous at the same time. I want to be finished with school, grow up, start a family, and be independent. At the same time, I love having my parents to fall back on if I have any problems. It is true that we'll be graduating soon and sometimes it is hard to think about. My brother is graduating from Kenyon College in one month and I feel like I was just helping him move in his dorm his first year. It scares me to think of how fast the years go by and then I realize that they are only going to move faster the older I get! I have to keep up!
