    Unhappy I don't wanna go to college!

    I go to college tomorrow. I'm still not 100% about the bus....I'm real nervous. But just the usual nerves that I get. I'm a worrier. Do I have this? Do I have that? Have I paid for whatever? That sort of thing.

    Anyhoo, can you remember how you first felt when you went into primary school/secondary school/college/uni? Just translate it into American for those from the land of the free.

    I think it's pretty normal to worry a bit about this stuff. I was worried about the money stuff last year, and am again this year, but before I really got into the course I was worried that I'd made the wrong choice and had ended up a course I didn't care for. Fortunately that feeling faded within a couple of weeks, as things started to be put together

    Don't go then.

    No seriously, the jitters are normal but once you get accustomed to everyone you'll wish you never had to go home. Kind of like your first day of preschool or something.

    On my first day of 6th form college (british stylee, yo!) I was so nervous I was sick before I left! But once I got there it was all fine and I enjoyed it.

    First day of University, though, I didn't bat an eyelid. Well, I was a bit nervous on the drive to the halls of residence, I guess, but as far as class went I was fine. Perhaps college gave me the confidence for university? Who knows!

    I was way nervous starting high school, it was a huge shock going from the oldest in primary school to the youngest of the school. I got lost on my first day, as there had been an assembley and I thought it'd effected my timetable and so I went to period 2, and I walked in on a senior class. How I blushed! I got lost pretty bad in my first week xD my school is huge, it was the Maths block that got me as it's called the S block. Now I'm a senior, which is pretty wierd and the oldest in the school again. It's college/sixth form for me after this year.

    When I first started uni I was kind of nervous, but relatively ready to do all the course work. This year it's the opposite - I'm not nervous at all, but I don't want to have to start doing homework, tests, etc.

    I took the bus last year too. It can actually work out pretty well, especially when you're really tired and/or have a lot of homework or reading to do (I managed to get a lot done when I rode back and forth). You might even get to talk with old friends . Obvious tip, but having a bus schedule on hand can come in really handy.

    I was a bit nervous but also excited. It was my first time in an actual big city (yes, I chose my university without coming here first) and I have a thirst for knowledge. So yeah, it was mixed with both nervousness and excitement. It was funny how my parents, mostly my mom, was all worked up because of insane drivers and traffic around here (my mom refused to drive anywhere near the city). I did not even cry when my parents left, I thought I was going to but I didn't.

    Even now, I get occasionally homesick and miss my family. The only thing I miss about living at home was all the free stuff and that high school was a hell of a lot easier.

    Anyways, best of luck and enjoy yourself!

    Don't worry Quin you'll be fine. It's natural to have the jitters in situations like this, hell I moved 2000 miles away from home and I'm 26 and still had butterflies of leaving my parents so far away. But once you get use to it, you'll realize it's all a part of moving on.

    I wasn't really nervous for the start of Sixth Form/college whatever. Stayed on in the same school and all, so it was/is (WHICH TENSE DO I USE?) pretty a-okay. DON'T WORRY. It'll be so exciting, and there's so much work to do; you'll have the time of your life! (but seriously)

    The thought of university makes me slightly sick and nervous and eyajwddn2 noooo I can't do it, though. Odds are (hopefully) I'll be a million miles from home and away from all my friends and there goes my comfort zone
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    I wasn't too worried. More excited to not be living with my parents and all that. Being free mainly. I've been thinking of returning to college. I dunno. I know I can't live making $8.00 an hour.
