The excitement and nervousness of this new adventure just fully hit me about an hour ago. I've felt it before, but never at this strength. I now have a full schedule of everything I need to do before I go and the days on which I'm going to do them. It's quite an extensive lists and includes: buying all my dorm stuff, school supplies and new clothes, cleaning my god-awful mess of a room, doing the months of laundry I need to do, photographing every article of clothing I own for my iPhone closet application, packing my life into boxes, making collages of our high school years for myself and my best friend, and saying goodbye to all my friends leaving before me, which would be exactly all of them. (By the way, my descriptions of my room and wardrobe are not exaggerations. The reason I have the iPhone application is because I need something to keep track of all my clothing. And yes, I haven't done a full load of laundry in months. I really have way too much stuff.)
I spent a couple hours on Facebook today going through photos from my four years of high school, emailing and messaging friends for pictures I knew they had but hadn't posted, and going through my box of old movie stubs and programs deciding which to include. The collage starts from freshman year all the way through the events of this summer, with the focus on senior year and the past few months.
The reason I decided to make this collage is for one very simple reason: these are memories we'll never get back. Yes, college is a new adventure with a new setting and whole new group of friends, but we can't let go of our past completely. Even if I lose touch with my best friend, I still want to remember the good times we had together.
