Moving on to the next level

[Tira]

Haha. I thought this forum needed a new subject. It's been a while since I've been on here, and I was wanting to check up on everyone and get the low down on life. Let's see... I've graduated high school, and I will be attending college in hopes of majoring in Biology with a minor in Japanese studies. I have a great boyfriend of two months. And I'm still keeping my abstinence promise.
Anyway, I've been thinking about college and I've been getting a little scared about the whole idea. I'm a little scared to leave my mom who hasn't been in the best of health(but she got on to me for thinking that... ) Well, I'm kinda scared to leave home period. When I was younger, I was always the adventure type, but the closer I get to leaving, the more clingy I get to my family. I mean, it's like I'm reverting back to a child again... Of course I've always been a big kid, but I've been missing the times my dad used to pick me up, and when my mom would sing me to sleep... All in all, I would like some advice on how to cope with the inevitable homesickness.
