ashley it sounds like you are doing a lot of very positive things. i really like the idea of the dance team to relieve stress... you know what things work for you, and not having exactly what you want available you have found a very good alternative. That is a big deal.

i moved away from home (far) for college (i didn't have anxiety issues but i had other things going on) and it was one of the best things i ever did, learning to take care of myself independantly and figuring out what kind of person i was and who i wanted to be. my belief has always been that education is only one part of going to college. This could turn out to be a very very positive experience for you not just through college but for the rest of your life.

Keep posting here, one thing you can count on is that if any little anxieties or insecurities pop up we are always here to be supportive. If you find this place a good fit for you, by August you will have some good friends here to offer help and lend an ear.
