Change can be so many different things and handled in so many different ways. At first, it can seem to be a bad thing, but over time, it gets better. Nothing is ever easy at first. Being able to figure out where you are, how to operate in a new environment and make new friends isn't always easy. Everyone adjusts to things differently. Moving from a small graduating class of 32 to a freshman class of 6,000+ is quite a bit of a change and is so overwhelming - especially when you're all on your own. You can talk forever about something - being there, imagining what it will be like, "preparing" for what will come, etc. - but nothing really tells you what to expect or how to handle it. You start to find out that you don't really know something until you've experienced it. It's up to you on how to deal with it and move forward. I think this is one of the most fascinating things in life...being able to start over new. What would you do differently, what would you keep the same? Thinking about it can produce lots of results, but when you're in the moment, you just find what works for you and move on.
Life really does speed by. It might seem slow in the moment, but before you know it, it's already in the past and gone. Living in the moment is so important and I think we all take it for granted. However the truth remains that there are so many things to experience, and there's only so much time to experience them all. You'll never honestly get to smell every scent in the world, see every sight, experience every emotion, etc. Taking what you have and making it something to remember is better than spreading them all so thin that they seem irrelevant. Why would anyone ever go out and do anything if that were the case? If there's one thing I've learned from life and the changes that are always constant, it would be to just keep moving forward and take everything in as it comes your way.
