When I arrived at FSU I felt a mixture of emotions both good and bad. At first I kind of felt like I wanted to throw up because I was so nervous. It was pretty intimidating driving up to the school knowing that my parents would soon be leaving me here all alone. I wasn't sure I was ready to be here on my own. The first two nights were hard, especially since I didn't have a roommate yet. I felt very alone and was hesitant to talk to anyone. I'm so thankful to have two really good friends here at FSU with me. They have made the transition so much easier and have given me the confidence I need to go out and meet new people. My attitude towards being here at FSU changed quickly from somber to an attitude of excitement! When my RA told me I finally had a roommate I was so excited and anxious to meet her. Turns out she is an awesome girl and someone I can really get along with. I'm sure there will be days that I get homesick and miss my friends and family, but I know I'm going to be okay. Starting this new chapter in my life is going to be challenging but I know ultimately I'm going to be okay, and looking to the future I am so excited to see what FSU has in store for me!
I can totally relate to this coming to FSU and knowing that you’re going to be by yourself is a freighting thought. But having the comfort of your friends and new roommate will help you get thru in the long run and you will learn how to grow as a person from all your experiences in FSU.-Cristina Bastin
