Ciao Bella! 
 Well today is the day, NYC here I come! I officially move to my new home for the next four years! Helping my parents load my bags in to the car and head off to the airport is beginning to give me butterflies in my stomach, I’m hoping these are good butterflies of excitement. Who wouldn’t be excited moving away from their parents? It’s a little scary moving to another state! What if something goes wrong? Who am I supposed to call if I need something? Ahhh worries are starting to flood my head. Whew chill Isabelle, you are going to be just fine! You got this! Trust me I have been saying this to myself for the past week leading up to this moment. Hopefully I won’t be homesick. I love being around my family, but maybe finding some great friends will help. This is my time to fly away from the nest and try and live on my own. 
Until next time, 
- Isabelle
