Last night (and for the last several nights) I have had tons of anxiety dreams over where my daughter is headed to college this fall. The college is actually a great school!! But it is not at all like where I went. I think about the things I enjoyed in college and I know she is not going to a place where her experience will be at all like mine.
I feel for ya. It's scary, isn't it? Thing to remember though, about your memories of college...is that even if she were going to the same school, time changes everything. Sounds like she's going to great school that is a great fit. She's gonna do great I remember when I was pregnant I had really weird anxiety dreams. I think this is pretty common? Maybe it's just hormones? Regardless...hope you get some relief from the stress dreams! Screws up your rest at a time you really need it. Elle and I have been practicing leaving each other messages on our cells. When she was away at orientation this week, she made me little video messages and sent them to my phone. LOVE getting those. Just seeing her smiling and having a great time....made me feel so much better. Maybe this would help? Has your daughter done orientation? How does she like her new school? Did she get the classes she wanted?
It will work out. She is not you, her experiences will be different. Even though it's not like yours, she will find the things that will make her enjoy it. Good luck to her!!!
My daughter went to my alma mater. And yet, her experience was quite different from mine. At the same place. It'll be fine!
