If you'd asked me a couple months back how I felt about leaving school and starting college I probably would have told you I couldn't wait for it, however now that the time has actually come I couldn't feel more unprepared. After being at school for 5 years and seeing the same faces and surroundings almost everyday it's safe to say that not going back to that familiarity is very nerve-racking for me. I've never been the best at adjusting to new things or making new friends for that matter as I always manage to think of every possible scenario that could go wrong
However despite all the anxiety I'm feeling I've decided that I need to start focusing on the positive aspects of starting college in order to help me feel more comfortable with the situation. To help me do this I've managed to write a list of 5 things I'm actually looking forward to and I thought I would share them with you;
1. Studying subjects I actually want to learn about
2. Being more independent
3. Expressing myself through the way I dress
4. Finally being treated like an adult
5. Having free periods to do what I want
Hopefully with these things in mind I can somewhat block out all the negative thoughts I'm having, stop worrying about everything and try my best to actually look forward to and enjoy college.
what are you looking forward to about starting school/college.

Thank you! Floral notebooks are my favourite :)
ReplyDeleteI start college next year (I'm doing my gcse's this academic year) and I'm so excited, especially because of the reasons you listed.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with starting fresh and everything, I'm exactly the same when it comes to making friends and stuff. I get really anxious when it comes to meeting new people and socialising since I'm always worried I'll say the wrong thing or something. I hope everything goes well for you though and I'm sure you'll make friends really quickly :3

Good luck with your gcse's this year!
DeleteThank you and I know exactly what you mean, I always feel like that when meeting new people but I started college yesterday and It's so much easier than I expected to talk to people so hopefully you'll be fine too when you start next year :)
Thank you! I'm kinda nervous but at the same time excited for when they're done :3
DeleteAnd aw yay I'm so glad, did you enjoy your first few days? :)
