hey Mike23, yes there is actually a really cool wrinkle remover that you can find in your laundry detergent aisle, you spray it onto your clothes, tug them and smooth out the wrinkles, and you're good to go. it's perfect for college!

For me, the two hardest things will be roommate and social life. I can adjust to a harder academic workload, and I am actually kind of looking forward to being away from my family(don't get me wrong, I love my parents dearly, but I'm ready to get away). As for leaving my friends, it's not something that I want to do, but if they're real friends, we'll find a way to keep in touch. I've never had to share a room before, so living with a complete stranger is going to be tough at first. I'm also really shy, so adjusting to a new social situation will be hard for me. However, I plan on joining clubs, so hopefully I won't have any troulbe meeting new people.

I'm going to miss my family a lot, so I put "family," although the social world was close..

My financial issues are what is most bothering me. My family doesn't have spare money for anything, and I know going to college I am going to be surrounded by people who will be able to do things like go to starbucks and buy expensive coats and whatnot, and i'm going to feel horrible and cheap. The college I want to go to is in a high-class area and I feel like I might be overwhelmed.

Plus actually paying for the college will be another issue..

I know the money issue is also a matter with me. I might bot be going to a high class area bt i'm still going to have to really struggle. I know I can. I wont feel bad abt not having stuff. Its just, Im wondering how Im going to manage everything...

i would have said being away from home but i have lived at my private school for the past 2 years as well as living away over the summer for the past 9. I will be a sr in high school next year and i feel that after living away for so long, i will be a few steps ahead of all the first timers

The academics are my biggest concern...I've got a year to change my study and homework habits completely. (I've always been one of those never-studies, wings-all-tests types and it's served me well enough, but I know it's stupid.)

my too bigest concerns are my academics and adjusting to the social world family comes in 3rd suprisingly

I chose tuition. Its only $5000 a year (costs about 2x as much as gas for my van does), but its still a steep stretch. I'll also somehow have to come up with about $3,000+ to even get me there with the things that I will need as I won't be living in a dorm.

However, my choice of college deeply has to do with the people that are in the area and go there. They aren't privliged either, so I'll fit in just fine aside from my hated michigan accent that I'll take to colorado. Atleast I wont around (for the most part) a bunch of stuck up college kids who all have their tuition and cars paid for by daddy...here, I'll have REAL people who have struggled in life. All the others will be busy applying at the Ivies.

Speaking from experience, the hardest thing for me to do freshman year was balancing my social life with my academic life. But... didn't see that in the choices, so I chose #1

sanluisfreak-- Don't turn your nose down at more privileged people. They are just as human as you are, and have most certainly suffered in life. It takes a lot of work to get into a good school; not just money. If you are happy where you are going that's wonderful, but spoiled rich kids deserve that right, too. Remember that financial position is not a judge of character.

Academics is my biggest concern...the rest of that stuff isn't that big of a deal.

reblin

I put accademics because im fine in new social conditions, living with a roommate is new and scary but i'll live, i'm going to go to college to get away from my family, once i'm in college I can see my s.o., my best friend lives right next to where i want to go and the money is scary but there are always loans, theres no cure to me being stupid lol

pianoisland

I sooo excited yet really nervous for the social aspect of the college world. considering it is soo different from that of high school. im also pretty nervous about living with a roommate, someone i have never even meet before. im sure ill get over it like everyone else, but it may be a challenge at first

Adjusting to a new social scene.

Only Child, have my own room and own bathroom. Thats really the thing I worry about the most: Sharing a room with someone and sharing a bathroom with 20 some odd people.

I'll live, but those first few weeks are going to be disgustingly stressful.

Best Wishes,
