“Now, parents and students separate into two groups.You will be reunited at the end of the campus tour.”

Groups of incoming freshmen happily left their parents upon hearing this announcement.I was less than thrilled about starting college, let alone leaving my mother's side to tour the campus with other freshmen£»I felt a little anxious.

We followed the senior tour guide.The other freshmen chatted and made casual introductions as I dragged behind.How could I have believed I was ready for this£¿After all, it had only been a few months since I left the hospital.I was feeling better for the first time in years.But college...?

My thinking was interrupted by a sweet female voice,  “Hi, I'm Jennifer.”  “I'm Lauren, ” I replied.“Where do you prefer to live? At home or on campus£¿” she smiled.“I'm not sure, ” I said.“You should live on campus£¡It will be a lot of fun£¡” she said.Before I could reply, the tour guide announced it was time to create our schedules and select the courses we wanted to take.

I panicked and almost started to cry.How was I supposed to know how to complete it£¿I was just relearning how to live in the real world, and they wanted me to make a schedule.How I wished someone could help me.
