First Week Emotional Response

My hometown, Melbourne, Florida, is a boring place where everyone is the same. Everyone dresses the same. Everyone listens to the same music, and after high school graduation, everyone goes to the same community college. I wanted to do something different, and choosing to attend Florida State University was far from the norm. On the six hour drive up to Tallahassee, my new home, I had one feeling bottled up inside of me; nervousness. I tend to shiver when I get nervous, and that's all I did from Gainesville until I arrived on campus. I was worried that I wouldn't make any friends, that I would get lost, and most of all that i was making a huge mistake. Thoughts kept running through my mind saying, "maybe i should have chosen UCF, it's only an hour away from home." Those thoughts soon stopped, and once I said goodbye to my parents, I knew that I had made the perfect decision. I knew that FSU was certainly the place for me. :)
