First of many!

Clamoring Credentials

If you are reading this, more than likely you are about to enter college or are at least thinking about it. When I walked across the stage at graduation, I believed it to be the end. No more lifeless lessons, crammed closing spaces, or atrociously acknowledging the two sophomores sucking each other’s faces off in the middle of a public area. I’m DONE. And congrats, so are you apparently. 

Throughout most of high school, I was surrounding by many of the same people, but I never like I actually met someone, as in unearth the soul and nitty-gritty of what makes a person who they are. And, quite frankly, it left me quite hollow.

 Now that I have left high school, it would seem that most of my emptiness left along with it. I mean, high school is over. I won’t see most of these people again and I’m sure I will make new friends in college…right? Is anyone else worried at the aspect of never finding someone you completely jive with? Or being even more inaccessible with so many people surrounding you? I’m not afraid to admit that I am. 

Furthermore, my academics were my constant companion and my safety net to sanity. What if college is too difficult? Sure, I graduated with the highest diploma and only ever earned one B in my entire life, but what if I am simply not prepared enough? What if college ruins my self-esteem and I sink instead of swim? It seems, my fellow worriers, that not only do we have to consider that obvious academic facet, but the social one as well. I’m sure everything will be okay. I mean, I hope so. 

Primarily, I have decided to start a blog because after scouring the internet and watching countless YouTube videos and How-To’s, I do not feel any more compensated than I was initially. In fact, I am more overwhelmed. I figured, if I was able to be up-front and honest with all of you who may be experiencing something similar, maybe, just maybe, we could get through it together. Plus, I love to write. I’m hoping we can stay in-touch throughout the course of this upcoming semester. But first…summer!
