I can do this right?
Hey peeps.
I have had a very stressful night. There is no escape. Ive been filling out all this paperwork that deals with with the finances of going to school, which starts on Tuesday of next week. I logged into my student portal and saw all the courses that I will take. Panic set in. How many hours a week? Will I sleep? Will i eat? Will I freak out? Will I be able to do this? I dont want to let myself down. I can do this, right??? AHHHHH!!!! Breathe and post on SR.
Thats it! Thank you for reading. I also have been eating a lot of cookies.

Of course you can handle all of that. One word at a time, fill out the forms. One page, one word, it will get done. It's something you really have aimed for, right??
Okay, now that the forms are done, feel proud of you and what you are about to accomplish. Maybe make a list of goals for you to follow. Then write what you might have to do....if you have a concern, call the professor and meet with them....Remember, those professors are there to make sure you will pass, that is what you are paying them to do!
Grab bags of carrots, celery, apples, things you can munch on without gaining the freshman 15 (which usually turns to the freshman 30+).
Be prepared and proactive.
You have the power to do this, you can get through anything, you are sober today!!!
I'm so excited for you! Breathe, remember to start some exercise so that in times of stress, you can do some sit-ups or take a quick walk and get rid of that extra anxiety, which might happen, but remember, you CAN do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are going to be a great student because you are going to be a sober student. Think how much more energy you will have now that you no longer drink. Pete Hamill said in his memoir 'A Drinking Life' that he got the feeling that he "was squeezing his talent through a tube of toothpaste." This is the kind of student you would be if you continued to drink. It would be strained and constricted. You can do this!
