Sorry, need to say this somewhere

I'm moving from Seattle to Springfield, OR in about ten hours.

Holy. Shit.

I'm going through a bit of anxiety.

I'm not an emotional person at all. My best friends refer to me an the emotional brick wall. I'm probably a little more emotional than that but not by much. Yet, here I am almost on the verge of tears - the last time that happened was in 7th grade (I'm moving to Oregon to attend the U of Oregon as a freshman) when my best friend died.

I just said my final goodbyes to a bunch of my friends. It occurred to me that, even though I know I will see them again, this is the last day that I am a semi-regular part of their lives. Oh, sure, I will make sure to see them all when I come up for X-mas and a group of them are already planning on coming down to see me (that's a long trip too!), but in terms of just randomly running into one of them, or anything like that... we're done. I guess I'm not taking this as stoically as I thought I would. I've always known I was leaving my town, but man this is tough.

*shrug* sorry, I just needed to let things lose. I could use a bowl or 3 right now... Ah well. Oh yeah... I know nobody in Springfield, and I can't bring anything down with me cause my parentals are helping me move, so I'm not going to be smoking for a long while either!

I know what you mean. I am also not too emotional, but I really cried driving home from college at the end of the school year when a sad song came on the radio.

Last year in college I got so close to al of my friends there that I didn't want to leave.


BTW, I'm moving back into my dorm again on Saturday, I am sooooooo excited!!! :D

I'm extremely emotional and can tell you that when you get settled and start meeting people over in Oregon you'll feel fine.
Leaving is always the hardest part ,just make sure you keep in touch with the people you think are worth keeping in touch with.

Have a smoke :)
Everything will be fine man!!

Just think you will get to see Dennis Dixon and the rest of the amazing Duck offense. Think positive.

My brother used to live in Springfield. You'll have little trouble making new connections! It IS sad to leave friends, but there will be new friends and experiences. This is an opportunity for growth! What you need to do about your pipes and stuff, is package it up and have a friend mail it to you- just double bag everything so no smells leak out! - Granny:hippy:

Good luck with your move... and I didn't know Springfield was a real place, maybe I just watched to much of The Simpsons.

Ahhh I am going through the exact same thing right now!!! I am moving from San Diego to Maui on Wednesday and I'm freaking out!! I am gonna miss my lover....

Change is so fucking scary!

There's a springfeild near chelmsford, essex too.

you will prevail, and you will find new friends. hope shit works out for you.

Thanks guys.

I just got my internet hooked up. Indeed, things look up from here.

Sure, I still know nobody except my roomies. But I found out that they are both pretty cool. I am bored right now though. I just try not to think too much about my friends from home. Cause I do miss em.

I just wish I knew of where to get some bud. I was walking to class today and some guy asked me that question... I told him I wish I knew. I think it'd make things a wee bit more interesting at least, and a good way to pass the time. I never bought before, always just smoked what my friends had, so I have no idea how one finds people with stuff to sell.

Ask your roomies if they blaze and if they know where to get any.

College will be the greatest time of your life. Everyone else going to U of Oregon is in the exact same position, but most of them probably aren't as big of bitches.

Freshman year of college is when everyone is the most open to making new friends in their entire life, so not only will you see your old friends for about 5 months a year, you'll enjoy the company of your college buddies 7 months a year.


I understand where you're coming from, I just moved from Ohio to Rome, Italy to attend college as well. Now THAT is anxiety-inducing.

Edit: Oh, I forgot. Oregon can be compared to the British Columbia of the United States, maybe not as much as Colorado, but a very close second. Great bud AND hash, very abundant. I predict you'll have a good chronic hookup within the next week. I don't know if he still parooses these boards, but Nikweiser is from Oregon and he told me all about it.

Look at it from another angle,

you will be progressing, ie finding new smoking buddies,

when you do come home, meeting your old pals will be more than just a daily routine,

just make a point of staying in contact,

they will be living the same lives back home,

I would never want to end up living in the same town I grew up in with out at least travelling, living somewhere else, I look at my mates back home with pity as to how little ambition or drive they have.

Oh, there was never any doubt I was leaving.

I've been planning to move out since I was in 1st grade. I only applied to one school in-state even.

But, I still miss them. ah well. I just need to find a dealer here. And my roomies have weekly drug tests so I doubt they smoke.

You will make new friends. And you will be surprised as too how many toke and as to how many will want to help you out with getting green
