2 weeks from today I will have completed my 2nd day (and beginning my 3rd) at William Jessup University. Everything I've been working toward the past 15 years is paying off. I'm starting my upper division coursework. It's all real now. I'm preparing myself for my career and I'm taking the next step in my journey.I'm terrified.
I've lived in Redding the past 7.5 years (minus the 6 month detour to Florida). That's the longest I've ever lived in one town. I lived in my apartment for 4 years. That's the longest I've ever lived in one residence. I've created friendships that will last forever. I've found my home at The Stirring. And now I'm leaving. Yeah, yeah, it's only to Sacramento but it's not here. It's not where I feel most at home. Like I said, I'm terrified.
What if I don't make friends? What if I hate it? What if I end up crying myself to sleep every night? I know most people think it's really easy for me to adjust to a new place and that may be true but it's still the worst feeling walking into a new environment where you don't know anyone. I've had to do it countless times and it doesn't get any easier.
This is going to be tough.
