First day of college, is meant to be fun and exciting. So why do I feel scared and afraid?

"Ready Zara?" Called my mom from downstairs

"Yeah one sec!" I called back from my bedroom

I've been planning this day for as long as I can remember, and now it's finally here I don't know what to feel. I'm finally going to UCLA. University of California, Los Angeles. I know it's nothing amazing or anything but it's been my dream to move away from my little town in Brookings, South Dakota. I know most people dream of living in New York but that's not me.

I walked downstairs with the remainder of my bags and my mom and dad were stood by the door, looking the way all parents do when they are taking their kids to college.

Sad.

I'm sad too but I just want to get away and actually start a life for myself no distractions. I'm planning on getting school done to the best of my ability and having fun, it's Los Angeles after all. Of course I want to make friends and all the teenage things but I'm going to try and focus of school as much as possible.

Okay so I'm saying this to you know but everyone including me knows this will go out of the window by the 1st party as a college student.

We leave as soon as the bags are loaded and hit the road to the airport. I'm no where near prepared to drive 25 hours for college I think I'll pass on that one thank you.

As soon as we arrive I jump out of the car prepared to get there as soon as possible, school starts in 2 days as it's Friday and it starts on Monday.

"Please take care of yourself and call if there are any problems or if you need anything, I mean it Zara anything." says my dad in his 'parenting' voice.

"dad I'm sure I'll be fine but I will" I reply dying to just run off and be free for the first time in 18 years.

Tell me what you think so far:) xxx
