The first few days and weeks of college are an experience unlike many others. From the rollercoaster of emotions to the swarm of new information, people, and places, freshman year can be quite overwhelming. Personally, I’ve never been away from home or from my parents for more than a week at a time. I consider myself a homebody- someone who is most comfortable in the confines of their house’s four walls- so as you can imagine, watching my parents drive away on move-in day was nothing short of terrifying. I didn’t know anybody, I didn’t know where any buildings or classes were, I was homesick, and I was devoid of any sort of routine. It was rough.
