I was very nervous, as anyone would be. It was the first time I was away from my family for a prolonged period of time, the first time I would be studying in a different language, and the first time I’d have to make friends who were of a different cultural background than I was. All in all, it seemed very intimidating and I really did not know what to expect. However, soon enough I learned that, at Bellerbys College, everyone was in the same boat, in exactly the same situation, and that everyone was understanding and nobody was judgmental or intimidating as I thought they would be. So, no matter how scared you are right now, and no matter how bad you are painting your first day of college - trust me, it will be at least a hundred times better!
