Tomorrow I leave everything behind. I knew this day was coming. I put the deposit down. I bought the dorm supplies. I went to orientation. Yet, the reality of this situation has not hit me until now. It did not register until the first of my friends left, and now that I have the day looming upon me, I am overwhelmed by a sea of sadness.

Aside from one other friend, I am the only one leaving the East Coast to be hours away from everyone. I knew the decision I was making at the time and do not regret it, but realizing everyone no longer going to be a train ride away is getting at me.

Then comes the sad reality of not being able to see my boyfriend everyday. I will not be with him for our official year, although we celebrated our first date two weeks ago. What do I do?
