It is now July and so that means that summer is in full swing. In just two months I will be starting college for the first time. The CAO is now officially closed. There is no going back. The courses I have chosen are going to stick and I can't change my mind. I can only go forward. This has made me think about the choices I have made in regards to college. I have begun questioning myself. Have I made the right decision? Is this course really the right one for me? Is this college really where I want to spend the next 3-4 years of my life? Did I do enough research because sometimes I feel like I should have done more?
Starting college for the first time is scary. The decisions I make now will have an effect on my future and that is quite a load to have on my shoulders. I can really feel the weight of it all. I should be enjoying my summer but instead I'm worrying about college and having to find accommodation. Sometimes I wonder if I'm even ready for college. It scares me to think that I might end up hating my course and that I will realise I have made a big mistake. What if I can't adjust to life away from home?
These thoughts and many more are constantly spiralling around in my mind. I had a lot of doubts about the top course on my CAO and that I wouldn't be able for it. Recently when I tell people what I want to study they say: "Why am I not surprised?". This response has made me feel a lot better about the choice that I have made. Other people can see this as the right course for me even when I don't. I know it's early stages yet to be judging the course but I'm feeling a lot more positive about it and genuinely excited to start college.
College is just another learning curve and a part of growing up. As time moves on I might do a few more posts taking you on this journey which is one of the reasons I started this blog in the first place. The next two months will fly by and I will be starting my new life before I know it!
Until next time...
I'll see ya when I see ya!
