This is something that I want to get on paper and not necessarily reminisce on but something that I can look back on. I recently moved up to College (literally 4 days ago) and can’t help but feel alone. I have this strong feeling of independence. I feel more independent than I have ever felt in my life and because I haven’t started classes I can’t help but feel a little bit isolated. I can’t help but feel like I have been quieter than I usually am. For a good chunk of my life I looked forward to this feeling of independence but now that I am here I am just waiting for stuff to start happening. I am waiting to be joking around with friends and talking about my ideas for photo assignments. I know this is only a temporary feeling and that is what’s keeping me level headed, that realization that once classes start I won’t have to worry about being on my own because I'm going to meet people that I can talk with and hang out with, finding people that share my same interests. This is something I have been looking forward to for a long time and I know I'll get there. This piece in no means is a cry for help it is just something I feel I need to address to others who may be going through the same things or have gone through these things. I am just sitting at the starting line waiting for the green light.
