Upon entering Assumption College on move-in day, the security guard greeted me with the inspirational expression “Light the Way”. I was very anxious and nervous for the path that lay ahead for me. My parents and my sister all came to help me move in. I couldn’t believe that I had made it to college. Every time we unloaded a box, I kept thinking that I was one step closer to being an independent college student. That terrified me. The fear of the unknown was, and still is, lingering over me. There were so many new things and sudden changes happening simultaneously. I wasn’t sure I could handle it. My first day of college I was a bundle of nerves due to the stress of classes, meeting professors, and the struggle to adapt to living with a stranger and make new friendships.
