I think that it's interesting to share my experiences of trying to successfully make it through college. Using this blog, I am able to share my stories of things I like and how college has been such a big change for me- especially going to a college away from home and trying to live independently.
Travelling independently is something that I have had prior experience with, so going to Minnesota shouldn't even scare me. There's only one thing that scared me a little bit. While my PA was helping me, wash my sheets, make my bed, and organize my overnight bag. . . I informed her that I'm going to Minnesota tomorrow. I explained to her the reason why I'm going, and I asked out of curiosity- just how long she thought the trip might be. Like my PA yesterday, my PA today said that the trip should be quite lengthy-six hours at most. Boy, is that going to be a long day!
After she left, I discovered that the CR president e-mailed me with more information regarding the trip. Thankfully, they are going to pick me up in front of my dorm, so I don't have to walk a long way to the parking lot. However, what he said about how long travel is going to be made me cringe a bit. The information I received via e-mail said, "During the trip (which Mapquest says will last 8.5 hours), " This is going to be a long trip, and I bet people will probably be sleeping practically the whole way.
