Probably nothing you're interested in reading, but go for it anyways

Everyone is a little bit nervous whenever they meet new people or start new things. I’ll never forget the feeling when I realized I graduated high school and I was soon leaving for college in just a few months. I just couldn't seem to get it in my head that I was moving across the state away from my family, and most of my friends to a place that I knew nothing about. I didn't do exceptionally well in high school, so I was pretty worried about the work load in a college setting. When I started at Washington State University in Pullman, WA I knew only a few people on the campus. I attended private schools from kindergarten all the way to my senior year of high school so I wasn't sure how I felt about going to a public college. Of course going to a college preparatory school is supposed to help a little, but nothing can fully prepare you for college.  Fortunately, my freshman year in Pullman ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. I got to know some of the most inspirational and educational people, and I broke out of the shell that I thought I had already broken out of. I thought I was really outgoing and social in high school, but your real personality comes out when you aren't around your parents and you are living on your own.  Undoubtedly I learned a few lessons on the way, but I wouldn't have learned anything about myself if I didn't make mistakes. Pullman really helped shape me as a person and respect people for who they really are and I can’t wait to go back in January
