When I started college, I went to one that was four hours away from home. I was terrified to leave home, let alone be going so far away.
I’m not going to lie or sugarcoat it because it is going to be an adjustment. It is possible that your roommate will be a serial killer…but it is highly unlikely.
My freshman year alone I went through three roommates. My first one ended up pledging a sorority and becoming an alcoholic, my second weighed about a ton and only showered once a week (she clearly had hygiene issues…I mean, seriously, I had to spray the room with air freshener every time she walked out), and my third…well, she is my best friend…and the rumor that you should never room with a best friend is definitely fact, not myth. You are going to have to be patient. I live with the first roommate for almost two months before I could not take it anymore and moved out. We tried the whole roommate contract thing, and that didn’t work, so when it got to the point we were going to kill each other, I moved out. Funny thing is that we’re still friends. Luckily, my second transfered to another university, and then my best friend and I decided to just get single rooms (even though we were in e/o rooms constantly).
It is going to be rough, and you are going to have to be willing to give things a chance. Try out your roommate, try out new things, join some organizations, and definitely get organized before your classes start, because once they do you are going to be busy.
If you need any pointers on packing and/or things you should def take with, just shoot me an email and I’ll help you out. Let me know if you need anything else. I hope I helped!
Your roomie will not be a serial killer, college isn’t bad at all and just relax and you will have fun!
