  1. Some of my biggest fears about going to college is not really knowing anyone and creating trust with new people and getting use to the overall change in becoming independent because somethings I'm use to my mom doing I am going to have to start doing them myself.

  2. Even though I am so excited about going away for college, my biggest fear is being so far away from home and having to do things on my own. I have always had my mom here do to things for me, so I really don't know how I'm going to survive without her. However, I guess that is apart of growing up and I will soon face this fear and learn to live with it.

  3. My biggest fears about college are that I won't get into my dream school, I won't enjoy the school I'm attending, I won't be able to adapt, or I won't be able to make friends/"fit in." My comfort zone is so small and revolves around ECHS so I'm afraid that once I get to a large university that I'll won't be able to get into the swing of things. Not making friends would be on the top of my fears list though because in order for me to enjoy my 2 (well four in my case) years I'll need to meet new people and make friends.

  4. Going off to college is a different ball game. There will be no more border line babysitting like we get here in high school. My biggest fear will be not having mom or dad as my back up.

  5. My biggest fear of going off to college is finding new people to hangout with. I will not have my friends that I normally hang out with because they will be attending different colleges. I also will not have my parents to remind me to do things that I have coming up, I will be on my own making my own schedule.

  6. My biggest fear about going off to college is, having to get out of my comfort zone to meet new people. I can sometimes be a shy person but know that I will need to get involved in things and be a lot around a lot more people so that I can make new friends. I am also nervous about being on my own because I will not have my mom to also be there to help me with things and do things for me. I will have to learn how to be independent and I really have to learn to really become a responsible person.

  7. My biggest fears are being away from home and not living up to my own expectations of myself. I am the hardest critic of myself and I worry that I will not be able to living up to my own standards. My other fear is being on my own and away from my mom. Since I am an only child and she raised me, I feel independent enough to know that I can do it but I cannot go down the hall and ask her a question if I have one. It's kind of like losing a comfort that always holds you up. It's sad.

  8. I have no fears about going into college. I basically already do the closest thing to my future career every single day and love every moment. I have been to all the campuses that I want to go to, I am not displeased with any of them. If I some how manage to not like a campus that's a easy hill to overcome. I have never struggled with keeping my grades up so I do not feel like the last two years will change. Also I have always managed to stay positive with any situation and really that is all I need.

  10. A big fear of mine includes being away from the life I have now, which is full of family and friends that I know are always there for me. Once I go off to college, I am on my own. I will be in all new places with plenty of new faces. It is going to be hard to break out of this comfort zone and begin to form relationships of trust with new people.

  11. I have a few fears about going off to college. I have always been used to getting something done with help from my family and now I will have to for the most part, venture out on my own. I also have some fear of going far away from home and thinking about living under a different roof. I just hope that whatever college I go to, I will be able to enjoy it.

  12. One of the fear that I have in college is being injured. I say injured because college is the time where people are showing their true colors and I do not have time to be dealing with people with "issues" who wants to come for me because I said something smart to them because I am not good at dealing with people who say childish comments. Another fear of mine is having a creepy roommate because if I EVER wake up and they are staring at me,I am going to go to 0-100 real quick.

  13. I honestly do not have any fears concerning college, I am really excited about going! A minor worry of mine would be not having companionship. I will literally be a little fish in a huge pond whereas as ECHS it is a smaller environment and everyone knows my name.

  14. My biggest fear is that I won't be able to choose a major. Even this year and I am unsure of what I want to do. I was struggling with choosing the easy way out and choosing accounting or choosing my dream and choosing a science major. Even if I a science major I don't know what I want. I don't want to go to school and waste all of my time and money and then still not be where I need to be.

  15. My biggest fear at the moment is that I will not get accepted into my dream school. I do have my back up plans that I think I would be happy attending but I do not think I would be AS happy as if I was at my dream school. It seems horrible to spend $30,000 going to a school that you are only sort of okay with. No one wants to be forced to settle.

  16. My biggest fear about going off to college is being farther away than just a short drive down the road from my friends and family. I have lived in Rocky Mount my whole life and I have always had the luxury of being able to go see my friends and family when ever I want to. Once I go off to college that will not be the case anymore and I am worried that I will get homesick.

  17. My biggest fear about going off to college is being homesick. I feel like i'm going to be helpless without my mom there. Even though I wont be far away i'm going to miss her. other than that I'm very excited about going off to college.

  18. My biggest fear about going off to college is dealing with the possibility that I may end up having to take out loans to pay for college, which might cause me to have to work while in college, which will ultimately take away from my college experience. But hopefully by the end of this semester that will not be a fear of mine because I will have scholarships!

  19. My biggest fear about going off to college is actually not getting accepted into my dream school as well as after getting my Bachelor's Degree not getting into any vet schools, then all my work would be all for nothing. Even though I do have a back up plan that still has to deal with animals, I do not just want to settle for my back up plan. Hopefully, everything will work out in the end.

  20. My biggest fear is that I don't have a fear, but I probably should. I don't know how to describe that, but I should be terrified.

  21. My biggest fear about going to college is being alone and away from my parents. I'm not very sure if I will be able to keep up with myself. I may forget to eat or do laundry and even to keep up with my grades. I just hope I'm more responsible than I think I am.

  22. My biggest fear is not getting excepted to college. Also I am afraid of not being about I find a job after college and being forced to come back to rocky mount.

  23. My biggest fear is going into debt. Which now is very hard going into college. I am doing all i can to get money for school.

  24. My biggest fear about going to college is the people I surround myself as (peer pressure). Since I know peer pressure is a big thing in college, which majority of the time leads to that person not succeeding, it makes me scared. When I get into college, in order to stray away from those people who I think will try to peer pressure me into doing things, I will surround myself with successful people and make it known that I am at school for one reason, and one reason only.

  25. My biggest fear would be socialization. I am a introvert so I would prefer being on my own if not with good friends that I trust. I see myself staying in my dorm/apartment most of the time but I know I will have to go out and have fun eventually I suppose.

  26. If I was to go to a university, my biggest fear would be not having the ability to talk with my professors. The ratio with student to teacher is so bad that it scares me.

  27. My biggest fear would be not getting into college. Of course there is the missing my parents and siblings (if you know me at all you know I’d miss Lety the most). They taught me that we are bound by our choices, but we are more than our mistakes and that in the end, the best you could hope for is to find a place to make your stand. And I should always remember these three things "Everything happens for a reason", "If you're going through hell, keep going", and "Regression to the mean."

  28. My biggest fears are choosing the wrong school and not be able to decide my major. I never want to go to school and feel out of place like I am not suppose to be there. I also would hate to declare my major and have my college life prolonged because I decide to change it.

  29. The biggest fear I have would be trying to arrange my schedule around to complete all necessary work. Also it would be balancing out my outside work with my schooling. The only thing that I am worried about is time management, other than that I have no fears what so ever. - Erica Davis

  30. My biggest fears for college are as follows:
    Choosing the wrong major
    Not getting along with anyone
    Eating too much ramen.

  31. My biggest fears about going to college are not making the right choice in schooling and not being able to decide what I want to do. I've thought about going to Florida and starting completely new with a whole new surrounding, while I've also been looking at schools and thinking of options in NC. We have so much to decide for ourselves and our futures that will mold us in to who we are and become, in such a short amount of time.

  32. My biggest fear is that ill transfer to a 4 year, and not have the motivation to continue and finish out my degree. Going to a 4 year university in the mindset that im in now, sick of school, and working the hours that i work just to flunk out ad look like a failure to my family and friends.

  33. My biggest fear in going to college is forgetting to eat or not leaving enough money to let me eat. Basically starving to death because I will forget to eat due to over indulging in my studies. Another thing I am afraid of is possibly getting sick not knowing and it become a major issue and possibly fatal.

  34. My biggest fears about college are keeping up with all of my classes and having to meet new people. While the Early College has given me the skills for handling classes, the fact that I will be taking so many classes on subjects I am not used to learning does worry me. There is also the fact that while I have become more social while at this school, I am still afraid of having to go to a completely new place filled with total strangers.

  35. My biggest fear is that I wont get into my dream school.Not only does that mean I have to find another school, it means that I might have to leave my entire family to go to a school specifically for my major.

  36. I don't have many fears about going to college. The only fear I have is whether or not I will like the college I attend and the surrounding city.

  37. My biggest fears about college is that I will not be able to get into my dream school. I am also afraid of being fifteen hours away from my closest family.

  38. Although I'm not afraid of attending college I do have some typical concerns. The biggest fears I face of attending college are just a few things that most likely cross many students mind. Will I be able to get into a good school? Will I be academically successful? Will I be able to afford t receive a good education? These are just a few things I wonder.

  39. The only thing that I fear about college is not getting in. If I am unable to get into a college like MIT or NCSU or Georgia Tech, then I don't know what I would want to do with my life.

  40. The biggest fear I have about college is the change I will encounter there. Even though I have always had difficulties when dealing with change, I know that with time I will become more relaxed and comfortable which will allow me to focus on my work. My second fear I have about college is meeting new people and friends.
