[Just Peachy.]

Hey there! I'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed. With everything going on in the world, the holidays, and major life changes, I'm not surprised you feel this way. It's completely understandable. College alone is stressful! The first thing I would do is contact an advisor. Email them about your stress and concerns and ask if they can point you in the right direction. They can probably point you to someone who can better answer your questions about preparedness. Then I would gather all your paperwork, online and off, and organize it. Within your paperwork or files, there may be something helpful regarding your concerns. If not, it feels good to get organized.

If it were me, I would make a plan. I would make a to-do list. This can include things you need to accomplish before you leave, and things you still need to figure out. When you are done with something, cross it out. The simple act of being able to cross something off a to-do list feels amazing and helps to feel more in control.

I have never moved on campus for college, so I'm not much help in the way of what you would need for that. My suggestion is to watch some YouTube videos and do some research on "how to prepare for university" or "things needed to move onto college campus". Does your college have dorm advisors? Or I don't know what they are actually called, but something like that? You can always contact them to see if they can give your more information.

Lastly- deep breaths! This is such a stressful time, and I know it feels chaotic. I always feel like my brain is in chaos when I first start the quarter. Make sure your ducks are in a row, contact anyone about what you may need. I've learned that contacting someone, even if it's the wrong person, is beneficial because they can direct you to the right person. You've got this!

You also mentioned that you stayed home for the summer? Did you attend school previously? Do you remember anything about that experience that would help you right now?

I wish you the very best of luck, and a happy, relaxed holiday
