Hello, me. I know you're worried about going to college so far from home. It's a big change for you, and you're not good with changes. You're scared that you'll much something up and won't be able to make any friends or that you won't do well academically because Shimer is not what you're used to and it's going to be hard. Trust me. It will be. But don't worry so much. Be yourself. Work hard and do your best. You're going to do everything right. Hard to believe now, I know, but you're going to make a good impression on people as long as you don't hide yourself away. You'll do okay in class as long as you honestly try. And you already plan on doing both those things, so you're practically set. College is going to be the turning point for you. Don't let your fears hold you back. Embrace the change, make new friends, and excel. You can do it. And you will. So don't worry so much, okay?
