Well the books have been purchased and the totes have been cleaned out. To anyone who has never went away to college, let me tell you, it is a pain in the butt to get ready for. You don't realize when you first go away that it really is going to become your home away from home. I sometimes wish I had went away right off the bat. Now, before anyone bites my head off, hear me out. I wish I had gone right away to college because maybe I would not have goofed off so much (or as mom pointed out I could have goofed off more!), I would probably be graduated by now, and/or working on my Master's. I realize all this and yes somedays it makes me very depressed and very down on myself. BUT, I am glad I didn't for many more reasons then those listed. If I would've went away right off the bat, I would not have met my fiance, I would not have met my very best friend (who by the way I am going to miss very much, once I go back to school), and very possibly not my other best friends that I am friends with at school. I would probably have dropped out of school when I found out my mom had cancer, so therefore it is good I stayed here. I helped with my mom's business.
I went completely off topic. But I am a queen of lists. I found a list online of things you need when you are going to college and adjusted it to my personal needs.
