College | Kaytlen Bennett

When I went away to college, many things changed. My first week away was a great adjustment. I didn’t have my mom anymore to tell me what to do, when to do it, and how it was to be done. I was living in a new place with new people. I didn’t have my friends who’d I’d known since elementary to be the source of my social life. My usually sheltered world was breached by a new and exciting but scary reality that I was in charge. No longer could I be dependent on others to do things for me. I know now more than any other time in my life: I am truly alone.
