\"IMG_0550\"<\/a>Headed to college…..<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything is different now. People are looking at you like you are odd. You are at a whole new place in your life. Family is calling you. Old friends have wished you well. Everything is changing.<\/span><\/p>\n

You knew it was coming and you worked for countless years to get to this point. You definitely had not done it all on your own. The list of people that have assisted you in getting to this point is gigantic and seems to keep growing.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
You are amazed with yourself that you actually did it. You planned and planned and planned for this moment, yet, you still are overwhelmed that it finally came to fruition. <\/span><\/div>\n

You don’t think you will be able to get through it. There’s no way you can. You continuously remind yourself that you are not the first person to do this, and definitely will not be the last.<\/p>\n

The days get longer and longer. You look at old photos on your phone. You text. You call. You sob. You check Facebook. Sometimes you cry when people are looking and, a lot of times, when they aren’t. You never thought it would be this rough. This IS what YOU wanted, right?<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
You have spoken to others that have gone through what you are struggling with. You insist there’s no way they could have had it this rough. Times are different. Things are different. This is what you wanted, right? This is for the best, right? This is the next step in life, isn’t it?<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Yes. <\/span><\/div>\n

Yes it is. This is the plan. This is the way it needs to be. This is what has to happen in life in order to advance.<\/p>\n

Who would have thought being a parent and having your child go to college would be so tough:)<\/p>\n
