Going to college!

Next year I'm off to college! It's coming around so fast and just like everyone else I have mixed feeling about going to college. I'm both nervous and excited, there are so many things to think about! I will be attending Wellington Girls and it's a really big school! The total number of students at our school is the same number that will be in year nine next year. I worried about getting lost, when I tell college people this they laugh and say that there is nothing to worry about but what if I can't find my class and embarrassingly rush into another class by mistake! At WGC all the year nines have a "tuakana-older sister" person who shows them around and helps them out on the first day but apparently some don't even care and just abandon you so I hope I get a nice one. I'm not sure what the work will be like but I was told at the interview that they were trying to cut back on homework which is good but what if the work itself is hard. I'm looking forward to meeting new people, I hope to make some new friends but at the same time stay in touch with old ones. Overall college will probably be a really good experience 'and there are so many things to get excited about e.g. new uniform, laptop, meeting new people, more opportunities. I will make sure to try my hardest in all subjects and aim to get into some running events like the 3000m for athletics and go to nationals for cross country.
