I've been in college since August and I'm still not used to it. It's been very hard adjusting not only to being in college, but also being far from home. I really enjoy the company of most of the people I've met, and I really like the small town vibe I get from the community (even though it's a newly developed semi-busy town). I've met the love of my life William, and I've had times with him I wouldn't give up for the world. But I've also had problems, I'm currently at war with my spoiled brat/airhead roommate, I've come close to relapsing a few times, for the first time in my life I can name people who don't like me, and I'm not doing to great in school. I'm contemplating taking a semester off and just working full time then going back, but I don't know what is going to happen. Either way, I'm staying up here in northern California for now. Yes, I miss home. Yes, I love where I live. Yes, I'm going to live there the rest of my life. But right now I need to feel independent, I need to prove to myself that I can do it.

I started college in September, and quite by the end of September. If you've come this far, you may as well stick it out!
You can do it, and you will. Being indepedent is wonderful - once you've got it, there is no going back.
