Is it normal to be indifferent towards starting college?

<p>I’ll be heading over the other side of the country in two weeks, and I’ve realized that I’m more excited about being in a new region than about college itself. Now, I doubt I’ll develop a slacker mentality, especially since I have a huge scholarship, but I’m think I’m just expecting anything to happen. I don’t even feel anxious about it. I’ve never been one of those college-driven students, so I’ve never had a first-choice school. Even though the school I’m going to is really selective, I’m beginning to think I chose the school for the location/climate than the school itself. I think I might start developing feelings of anxiety later on, but its weird that I don’t feel anything, because for the past year, I’ve wanted nothing more than to experience life in that part of the country.</p>

<p>I’m feeling the same, indifferent but not apathetic. I’ve never had a 1st choice either. It’s normal imo.</p>

<p>I’m so damn bored. I just wish this summer would be over.</p>

<p>Me, I’m apathetic.</p>

<p>Yeah Im more excited to leave home and go meet new friends than start the actual college classes. I think we’re all just slightly burnt out from our 4 years’ hard work…and now we get to go somewhere else! The prospect is just a little more exciting than more school. (Not that Im saying that Im going to college for the experience. I understand that it’s about school and learning)</p>

<p>I’m pretty indifferent toward it. I’m just doing it because I have to if I want to get a job I actually kind of enjoy. I’m not really thrilled about it and I kinda just want it to be over already so I can get on with my life.</p>

<p>i’m pretty ambivalent about it too, but i think it has something to do with me having been away at boarding school for the past 4 years. but i think that sensations will begin to kick in once the time nears. still 2 weeks away</p>

<p>Heh…my parents are more excited for me to go to college than I am. I must be a horrible son. And the whole wear a shirt with your college’s name on it every day kinda gets old in my opinion.</p>

<p>I’m a little excited, but more about being like an adult and stuff. </p>

<p>I hate how everyone else is soooo excited. It’s just college…</p>

<p>I’m just antsy to start. It’s really awkward because I’m leaving in two weeks, and I don’t really know what to do with myself until then. I want to see everyone before I leave, do this and that…X_X Sometimes I just think I’m just sitting on my butt all day waiting for college to happen.</p>

<p>yeah i feel as if everyone except me is ridiculously excited and yet i’m just sitting there like “ehhh…” it’s sad because the only thing i’m truly looking forward to right now is taking classes in subjects that i’m actually interested in.</p>

<p>I wasn’t super excited either. But I have some courses this summer… finals this week. it’s an improvement from hs for me so far.
i think the fall will be different when everyone comes.
i dont know what the point of that was but you arent alone
ehhh
dont feel like typing anymore</p>

<p>Yeah, some people just don’t get as excited as others. There’s nothing wrong with it. No point worrying about it until you’re there and somewhat adjusted - if you still haven’t found anything to be excited about after the first semester, then you can start looking at your options. And hey, if experiencing life in that area is what you really want, maybe that’s a good enough reason to go to school there!</p>

<p>I’m not feeling much. when I was little I would be painfully excited for a new school year to start, but I lost that in HS (fortunately.) I am now just kinda whatevs about college too. I get way more excited about news, politics, and (sheepish) my television shows.</p>

<p>I don’t even have your regional thing since my school is like an hour from home. it’ll be all the same.</p>

<p>i’m just excited to finally be moving out of my hometown and seeing lots of new faces. i’m not looking forward to living 4 hours away from my mom, but i’ll deal with it.</p>

<p>Just wait till the last couple days with your family :P</p>

<p>Now, I’m starting to feel sad about leaving my parents here. Weird feeling…considering I never really had this feeling before. Between trying to pack in friends and errands alongside spending time with family, it’s been quite busy lately.</p>

<p>I look forward to the fresh start. Not the stress of academics.</p>

<p>It hasn’t hit me yet that I’ll be entering a whole new life style; I don’t feel anything…</p>

<p>Is it weird that the only thing I’m truly excited for is to use all the crap I bought for my dorm room?</p>

<p>I’m also dreading move-in day. Fingers-crossed, I hope it won’t be TOO hectic.</p>

<p>Otherwise, I’m as indifferent as the rest of you guys…</p>

<p>At first I was excited to be leaving home and moving into a dorm. Now I am pretty much indifferent seeing as I leave in 10 days.</p>

<p>Nah, a lot of my friends are like 'I’m excited/anxious/scared" but I’m not really feeling any of those emotions, or any really.</p>
