I’m not a shrink, but

1 - is this normal? - Your behavior and feelings sound PERFECTLY normal to me. It’s exciting but still scary. You’re entering a new phase of your life and you want to be grown up but you don’t want to leave your family.

2 - advice? - Your family will still love you and you them. Look for details about the school you’re going to to ease your stress - figure out how the public transportation system works, what the dining hall hours are, even where the tutoring center is. Realize that you’ll have a phone and access to your parents, access to medical care, access to academic support… It IS exciting. You ARE growing up.

Good luck!
