history: I am starting my first year of college and I am so afraid. I am about to start college at the end of the month. That's a big time in someone's life.  Do you feel ready for this new phase? I don't. I'm going far away from home and I don't know anyone How far away will you be? I am from Tennessee and moving to Oregon.  Oh man_comma_ that is a long way.  Do you have family visits planned so you have something to look forward to and help you get through?
current: My mom says she will but I think I'm going to transfer after a year. Its too far. 
next: You might fall in love with it and end up sticking it out.  You never know, but leaving family is hard.
