Adjustments

Adjustments College life thus far has been an entirely new experience for me. From letting go of my Mom and moving away from home and finally getting settled in then realizing that your new roommate is a major drug dealer and having to move again, on top of having hard classes and not knowing your way around town, college life has defiantly been an experience. These are some of my frustrations and adjustments to college life that I have had to go through so far. Moving away from home was harder than I thought it would be. At first, I was so excited and thrilled about finally getting to move out on my own. I have always been close to my mom and now was the time to let go and be a “big girl”. When I got here I had doubts about everything. Am I going to be able to do this' Is college life for me' I started to pick apart and analyze this new situation I had been dealt, and then my mom stepped in, “Mija, you going to do great. Everything will fall into place, don’t worry.” “Okay Mom, I can handle it.”, I said.
