College is an awfully big adventure

OhHey beautiful people!
Over the past year, lots of things have happened and changed in my life. I have now been to every hospitable continent other than Australia. However, right now I am in the same boat as most of my friends.
I am beginning my next educational endeavor, the period of life which many people have told me will constitute some of the best years of my life. That's right, I'm starting college. That is to say, I am beginning the period of my life which will revolve around University of Alaska Anchorage. I guess that there's no looking back now, right? My dorm room is set up, my roommates seem pretty cool (Wassila, Juno, and Indiana), my textbooks are bought, and my mom just left to catch her plane home. Classes start Monday, so the roiling in my tummy needs to end pretty soon. I honestly just want to be done with all of this already so that I can look back on the experiences and say to myself "that was so fun." Hopefully, everything will go swimmingly.
Oh dear, I've forgotten my pocket handkerchief!
All aboard the Hogwarts Express!
