Its Okay to Feel Scared

Its Okay to Feel Scared Dear future Illini, In just a few short months you will be holding an envelope in your hand, and inside that envelope will contain, what feels like, the most important letter of your life.  You may open it instantly, or you may be too afraid to open it. But either way, itll feel like your whole future. Im writing to let you know that it is okay to feel nervous. It is okay to feel terrified and excited and even a bit hesitant. In fact, weve all been there once or twice. A year ago, I was in the same position as you are now, and I was scared.

This scary time in your life will soon be something to laugh about, and you will soon realize that all of your worry was for nothing. Everyone finds their path, whether it be at what you thought was your dream school, or a path you never imagined taking. Just remember, everything will be okay.
