Move-in

Wow, is this real life?

You always wonder what it's going to be like going to college...and then suddenly, there you are. Heck, I'm still wondering what it's going to be like. It's only been the first day, after all.

Life at USC is going to be busy, I can tell that straight off. From the moment I walked on campus today up until now, there has been something going on. That's one of the reasons I decided to start blogging this year: I want to keep track of what I'm up to as I move throughout this year. Hopefully, this blog won't turn into a complete diary, but even if it does, I promise it will be a diary others can read without fear of intruding upon all my feelings about what is happening. My goal will be to make it informative, entertaining, and perhaps insightful. We'll see how I'm feeling on the particular day.

I cannot promise daily updates, but I will try my best. I do promise to post at least 3 times a week.

Wow... I can't believe I'm here. I'm already dreading the first time I'll feel homesick. I had to say goodbye to my mom today... It's a scary thought you never think about until you get here.

Mom, I've always loved and appreciated you. I want to make that clear. Some kids don't realize how great their parents are until they get to college, but you have been fantastic from the start.

As for my predictions for this year? I am fairly certain that I will not come out of this year the same way I went into it. I'm going to change a lot, and hopefully for the better. I expect I won't stick with all the goals I set for myself, but I'm still going to try hard to achieve them. I'm going to learn a lot too. I've been told by many that this is likely to be a hard year to get through...

I'm going to survive. It's going to be really tough, but by the end of this year, I hope to look back and say it was the best year I could've asked for for my freshman year of college.

Bring it on, SC, and Fight on, friends.
