It’s been a long, stressful and rather uneventful year since I applied to Michigan State back in August of 2007; however the wait finally came to an end on Monday June 9th, when I received my acceptance letter telling me I had been offered admissions into MSU for a major in psychology. I cannot even begin to explain how excited and relieved I was, yet at the same time how nervous I quickly became.

In the next few weeks, I will be sending in my advanced enrollment deposit of $250 which will hold my spot for academic orientation as well as a spot in a residential hall. I will most likely, no scratch that, I will be attending the August 18th session since I live farther than 500 miles from the school. The august 18th session is a week before classes start, however, I’ll be able to move into my dorm on August 21st I believe so I won’t have to stay in a hotel long once I get there.

I’m nervous and excited, all at one time. I have worked so hard to get into MSU and it’s finally happened, yet I”m nervous because for the first time in my 22 years of life I’ll be living away from my family and from living under the roof of a parent, who has always been there when I needed them. It will be difficult to say goodbye, but it’s not the end of the world and I will see them again; I am ready for the next step in life and I’m ready to be able to be on my own, more so than I ever was before. I’ve been through so much in my life up to this point, I want to prove to myself that I have the strength to stand on my own two feet without someone always there to pick me up when I fall (not that they were anyways!). Not only that, but I’m ready to start the next chapter of my relationship with Alan…with our one year anniversary coming up fast on June 29th, I am excited about what the next year holds for us and so on and so forth with me being in Michigan – only an hour away rather than miles apart.

It’ll be a new experience for the both of us and most importantly for me, but I know I’ll make it and I’ll be okay and I have a feeling that I’ll come out on top in the end; I can’t wait.
