I received an acceptance letter to a college that I have been dreaming about attending for four years - the school is in New York, and I currently live in LA (senior in high school). I was initially very excited, but now the panic and apprehension is just starting to set in. I mean, I know I want to leave home, it'll be good for me but I am so scared of not having my family with me, especially my twin sister; she is literally my other half. The idea of leaving home for a new, unexplored place seemed so appealing until I realized it was actually going to happen. I don't want to not go just because I'm scared - I need to grow up sometime. I guess what I'm asking for is advice on how to get myself through all of the fears of leaving home for the first time?
