<p>I’m pretty sure most, if not all, people experience some type of anxiety when taking a drastic change-of-lifestyle such as moving away for college. I wouldn’t say being nervous isn’t uncommon. Some people are more excited than others, but really, college life is what you make of it.</p>
<p>You live in the day and age of the internet, where people a world away can communicate with you almost instantaneously! Resources like Skype, Twitter, and Facebook can help make the number of days of not seeing your loved ones decrease significantly. When I first started real college, I Skyped with a few of my friends to help keep in touch since it was such an abrupt end to the friendships we’d been used to experiencing on a daily or weekly basis. It was fun to still get to see them, even if they were hundreds/thousands of miles away.</p>
<p>All in all, it definitely IS a new chapter to your life that might be scary in its own rite, but use your resources that you have to your advantage. College life can be a little more bearable if you do so!</p>
