Introduction (& Fears)

I  thought it'd be a cool idea to journal my four-year (or more) journey through college to detail my progress, experience, etc. and to give those of you interested a taste of the college life, or for those of you already in college something to possibly relate to. So let me tell you some basic things about myself. (Just so you know, while I will go into specifics about my experiences, things like my university, last names, professor's names, etc. will be kept confidential because I like my privacy and I'm sure the other people I'll talk about on here like their privacy too (: ).

1. My name is Kristina
2. My major is Creative Writing
3. Some of my favorite things to do are writing (obviously, and mostly fanfiction), listening to music, binge-watching shows, fishing through Tumblr and Pinterest, reading, running, traveling, going to the beach, shopping, playing with my dog Unchkins
4. I'm a Christian
5. Maybe I'll add more when I think of it

So, it's about a week before I start school. It's actually midnight as I write this on a Monday and I move in on Sunday so I have less than a week. It's weird because this whole summer has felt like such a drag. I graduated high school on June 12 and I've had about 3 months and a half of vacation, the longest summer vacation I've ever had. For about the first 2 months, I was so bored with summer and then I went on vacation with my family from early to mid August and from there the summer has just been going so fast. I feel like all I did was watch Netflix and write Fanfiction but I had all these other plans that I never really got to, which I'm ashamed of. But as the beginning of my college experience approaches, all I can feel is fear and worry with a tinge of excitement mixed in there. I've always been pretty shy and introverted and when I signed up for my dorm assignment, I said that I wanted to be in a triple which means I'm going to have 2 other roommates. I did this because it was the cheapest housing option but also because I tend to do better in groups of 3 or more. Sometimes when I'm not comfortable with a person, it can be hard to keep the conversation going so, 2 other people in the mix feels better to me. As an introvert, just thinking about the first few days of college, AKA Welcome Week, stresses me out because I can pretty much only handle social interactions for a few hours before I get tired out/in a bad mood. I need time to myself to recharge but I don't know how that's going to go during the most social week of college in the most social dorm at my college with 2 roommates. Have I made a terrible mistake trying to put myself out there?? Let's hope not!

This was really just suppose to be an intro post so I'm going to stop before I make it too long with more of my worries. I'll keep you posted throughout this week, though. Thanks!
