Is missing the first semester in college bad?

Enjoy every moment, eliasp! Start collecting things at home that you already have, like a bedspread/comforter, pillow, school supplies, and of course, your clothing and personal items. Just FYI, Walmart has extra-long twin mattress pads for just under $9. You could make due with just a fitted twin extra-long sheet over the mattress pad, and cover up with a blanket and comforter if you can’t afford a whole sheet set yet. And, the t-shirt sheets are really great because they are both cool during warm weather, and offer a little warmth during the winter. Most college students just wear jeans and sweatshirts, so as long as you have those you won’t have to worry about special clothing. If your tuition bill is going to be paid, that is most of what you need to worry about, so, don’t let money stand in your way of this great opportunity. Get a campus job as soon as possible, and you may even want to think of ways you can supplement that income (my d mended clothing with her sewing machine and made cool jewelry other students wanted to buy!) There are lots of ways to make money in college. Call your mom as often as you can so she will know you are ok, and ask for help when you need it so that you will be successful! Good luck to you!
