Move in day on saturday-not so sure anymore.. HELP..

It is scary leaving for the first time. I am a mommas boy myself and was very apprehensive about leaving "the nest." Once you get to school, get your books, find out your schedule, meet new people, find nice places for lunch, see cute girls... etc, you will realize you will have so many things going on you it will keep your mind occupied. It is very exciting and I remember well my first chaotic days of school. I called home a lot at the beginning but after awhile you know your mom will always be there and you don't feel the distance so much. You start to become your own man with new interests and a new life and mom is always a phone call away. Sorry for getting corny...Good Luck!

 

thanks for the advice.;D
it helps knowing your not the only mommas boy around that went or is going through the same thing

 

called my parents everyday. a month later they were lucky to get one call a month. there's so much to see and do in bigger college towns. make school work a priority because i didn't and regret it everyday. life is great, but a college dgree would've gone a long ways. anyway, keep your head up and in no time everything will be natural to you. college can even seem like home especially if you get out of the dorm. good luck.

 

You will adjust quickly. It's hard at first, but once you become independent, it's great. You'll meet new people, and very quickly you will have too much to do to continue being lonely. It's great you have a good relationship with your parents But you must grow up and broaden your horizons as well.

 

My sister went through this her first semester, but it didnt really effect me much... its just a change in your life and some people take it better than others. feeling home sick for the first month or two is natural, you are abandoning your family that loves and cares for you. you are thrown out into a new experience with no friends and nobody to turn to.
Just make some really good friends and try not to think about how bad you feel without your family there. it will pass in no time at all, trust me!

Also, this is your first time in your life that you can 100% define what you want out of your life, you do what you want and seek out activities that please you. You should be looking forward to this, not dreading it

 

Some good looking women, a positive attitude and some Jack Daniel's solves everything.

 

Wesho, aren't you gonna ask me what I would do if you were my son? :-[

 

I'll ask you. I'll be leaving in two years. lol

 

I so missread that, i read that as a prosti... lady. :

 

its really a jump your just gona have to take. it will suck at first but once you meet ppl and start to est ur own life and own way of doing things youll come to find that being on your own can be empowering at times, as well as a bit scary but shes a fone call away and its only 3 hrs, atleast ur not cross country or in a different state.
so ur support base is still somewhat close.
