The name is Ellie. I'm 18 years old, the oldest kid in my family. I graduated from high school this past June, completing 4 years of my life that went by so fast, I'm still trying to figure out how it happened. Now as my summer has flown by as well, the real count down begins....
T-Minus 12 Days.
12 days from today, two weeks from Wednesday, I will be leaving for college. 12 days from today I will be living in my new dorm up at Washington State University, home of the Cougars, in good ol' Pullman, Washington. This is a huge new step in my life that will be taking place, and I'm not quite sure what to think. I know I'm excited, but at the same time I'm scared and a little nervous/anxious. But that's normal right? That's how every incoming freshman feels going into college, or even high school. It's something we haven't experienced before.
But the real stress of this all is the getting there. You have to buy SOOOOO much. I mean you have books, you have things for your dorm, and the list just goes on and on and on. My mother and I went out the other night to start shopping for my dorm room and the major issue that came up for me was what kind of bed spread do I want. Do I want just a solid colored one, or maybe a patterned one? But then the question of what color comes into play as well. And I'm one of those people who can't buy anything else until that gets picked out because everything has to match and coordinate. You'll be happy to know that I did come up with something. Went with the solid color of dark blue and a nice teal with polka dot sheets. Add some fun and color to the tiny little dorm room I'll be living in. But don't even get me started on books....that's the next thing I'll concur.
