So Many Emotions...

College. The Best Four Years Of Your Life (if you graduate in time. Then it could be 5 or more). Away from home for the first time. All the responsibility now on YOU. And the financial worries begin...

Being on a budget is the hardest thing I've ever done. Despite my $30 limit per week, I've been informed that is a lot. My hugest problem is that I love eating out. I love having coffee made for me. This is the pits. How am I going to function at college without a steady paycheck?

I am afraid of myself. I feel like I can't even contain my own self. If I'm in a situation in which I want to do something, I don't stop to look at the BIG PICTURE. I am a self-gratifying pig. Ew. Ew. EW!

Hopefully I will be responsible. Hopefully I will save my money. Hopefully I will be able to pay the interest for my student loans. Hopefully I will study. Hopefully I will get good grades. I am striving for excellence.

I expect of myself to get all As in classes of my major. I want to get a minimum of a B- in science/math classes. I REALLY want to try in college. I really do. In high school I did enough work to get by, but I think I could have done better. I want to learn. I want to expand my mind. I yearn for intellectual stimulation. And social stimulation. And active stimulation.

I DON'T WANT TO GAIN WEIGHT. No freshman 15 for me. I can do this. I can listen to my body to figure out when I'm hungry. My meal plan in unlimited I just found out... So. Now I won't be forced to stuff myself each meal I eat in the dining hall because I know I can have more later.

Deep breaths.
