Jump right in or tip toe?

So today i was packing/moving my things into my new room (aka my brother's lizard smelling room) and it hit me hard, like being knocked off my feet by a volleyball rocket, that i was moving out in less than a month for college. It was very depressing and scary. I started to think about how i only have about 3 Wednesday left for youth group, all the events that i will be missing out on, and my very dear friends that i have known for most of my life. I'm so used to going to youth group every Wednesday, being involved with the human video group and spending the time with my friends. Its weird thinking that next year that's all gone. The youth group has been such a huge part of my life and the people in it have supported me when things got rough. I love them so much. But after thinking about it i remember Betsy telling me something at camp about going to college, which took some of the sadness away. She said that when you go to college you meet so many new people and create so many different friendships that you are consumed into the college life. The events that you will be involved in will be at your level and you will have so much fun. After i thought about it for awhile, i decided that it will be good for a change and no matter how long we are apart i know that the friendships at youth group that i have made will last a life time. So whether i should jump right in or tip toe into the life of a college student will be a question i will have figure out on my own.
