Moving In

Today was the first day of my college days and amazingly it went much better than i thought it would ever go. As i sat in the car on the four hour drive down i couldn't help but wonder if i was really gonna enjoy being this far away from my family. When the time came for me to finally get out of the car and start moving in, I admit i was way nervous. But as the older students helped carry my luggage up the three flights of stairs i started to realize how wonderfully nice these people were being to someone that they just met like ten minutes ago. i then began to realize that they weren't being nice because they had to be but because they wanted to be. They understood that being a freshman is stressful enough and that when you go somewhere completly out of your comfort zone it is nice to have someone that can relate to you.

So when i was finally unpacked and things were somewhat neatly put away my parents took i and my two roomates to find something to eat to fill out empty stomachs. As we were sitting in a Dairy Queen talking about our interests and just getting to know each other i realized that these once strangers were now becoming some of my new best freinds. As the day went on we became closer and closer to each other finding out our likes and dislikes.

By the end of the day when my parents finally departed i didnt feel like they were abandoning me like i thought i was, but more that they were leaving because they new i was ready to be left alone for once and that they wernt going to have to give me a curfue or tell that i need to behave. They new that i had finally turned into the young lady that they always hoped i would. And even though it may have happened way to fast they are proud of me and they will always be.

For all of you out there reading this i hope that you have or had amazing parents like mine. and for those of you who dont know your parents they are in your dreams right between waking up and falling asleep. May someone special be in your dreams tonight and i pray taht they know how you feel about them, if they dont tell them because you never know the last time you may see them. As for me the special on in my dreams may be four hours away but his picture is on my desk and his love will always be in my heart.XOXO
