Pros:

• Meeting new people.
• Dying my hair blue.
• Having my eyes opened to life outside of this town.
• Did I mention meeting new people?
• Packing for college. I like packing.
• Buying stuff for college. I like having new things.
• Graduation ceremony should be...I don't know. Emotional, probably.
• Being able to somewhat reinvent myself at college, or at least be more true to who I am. If that makes sense.
• Hopefully having some kind of celebration, like a massive party or a road trip with friends.
• Not having my parents tell me what to do all the time (like going to sleep, doing my homework, cleaning my room).
• Freedom. 'Nuff said.
• Meeting people who are actually intelligent (enough to get into college, at least) and don't make me feel ashamed of being a human being.
• Taking classes that I'm actually interested in.
• Hopefully finding a career path that won't make me want to shoot myself.
• Getting my diploma and hopefully a sense of accomplishment.
• Being in college.
• Probably having to make lots of lists of what I need to do to prepare for college. Lists. <3
• Making a new Day Zero Project list.
• Change.

Cons:

• Not going on the Sky Bridge anymore.
• Being away from home.
• Being away from my family.
• Most likely splitting up from all of my friends.
• Having to do more for myself (sounds lazy, but honestly, it will be an adjustment).
• Having to get used to life in whatever place I go to.
• More homework, I would assume.
• Realizing that my "childhood" is pretty much over, and I have to be responsible.
• Probably gaining weight. (Freshman 15?)
• Probably never seeing a lot of people from AHS ever again.
• Not seeing familiar faces in the halls.
• Figuring out a major at some point, which will be impossible, because I don't know what I want to study at all.
• Probably struggling financially a bit.
• I will be completely terrified to leave home (and my friends and family) and go to college. Basically. I'll probably cry a lot towards the end of senior year and during the summer afterwards.
• Possibly being disappointed in the number of Day Zero Project items I completed.
• Did I mention leaving my friends and family? Oh my god.
• Change.

I kind of repeated myself a lot, but oh well. I've been thinking a lot about this during the past few months.
