When I packed up my life and moved from the comforts of my little hometown to Waco, I remember feeling 56 (lose). All my friends were so excited to start their own lives, but I just wasn’t sure 57 I was ready for that yet. Many things worried me. But I hid my fears and when the time 58 (final) came, I hugged my mother goodbye, made the two-hour one-way drive from Coppel to Waco, and set up my new room.
For the first few weeks, I didn’t miss home or really feel any kind of emotion at all except tired. There was so much for me to learn 59 I hadn’t had time to think about anything. My energy 60 (direct) towards figuring out campus, adjusting to college-level classes and remembering the names of every new person I met. I explored every corner, 61 (look) for the perfect place to study. I learned to set 62 (I) a schedule of getting groceries, cleaning my room and doing my laundry on Sundays.
Nowadays, in my second semester, I feel like I have almost adapted 63 the university life. The transition from high school to college wasn’t 64 difficult as my mind made me think it would be. One of the best 65 (thing) college has taught me is how to be independent.
