"Mixed Feelings"

So many feelings come to me when I think about the next school year,
Most of it is excitement, but there is still a lot of fear.
Living away from home is something I have never done,
It's going to be hard to handle being away from all my loved ones.
Over the past years, I have had the same group of friends
It scary to think we'll all be doing our own thing when August ends.
We've known each other for years and it's with them I feel most comfortable
Next year is going to be tough for someone shy like me, stepping out of my bubble.

I realize starting over and getting to know new people will be a little hard
But I plan on trying to be open to new things and not having up my guard.
When it comes to school work I will try my absolute best,
That is the only way I will come out with success.
I have heard from many people you have to learn to manage your time
And I believe as long as I avoid procrastination, I will be fine.
Even though thinking about leaving kind of makes me ache,
I'm anxious to go and see all the memories I will make!
