What my hopes and expectations are when moving and starting a new university?

I think my expectations and hopes are from this move from Cleveland To Huntington, WV is the second chance I always wanted. I always thought coming to Ohio growing up was the biggest mistake of my life. I never had the best experiences. As a kid my aunt could just tell me hey go play outside have fun be a kid. I never had that when I arrived back in Ohio.

I believe in multiple chances, my first chance was in Saint Lucia, but, fate took me away from that wonderful place. I wish fate didn't do me like that, but as a kid fate took me away from another place. A small town called Wayne, WV. About twenty-eight minutes away from Wayne is a city called Huntington, WV.

It can be very overwhelming dealing with everything all at once. My list of things to do. Moving date is between May and June.

My list of things to do before I move:

1.) The White and Green Open House at Marshall University.

2.) Passing my Finals at CSU.

3.) Figuring out when I can move to residents Hall at Marshall University so I can leave Cleveland as quickly and clear minded as possible. I found this out I can't move until two weeks before class in August 2024. However, I might have to bend my plans to make this sooner instead of later.

4.) Save up some money for the summer trip so I can go see my husband.

5.) Not being afraid to speak: I'm always afraid of saying the wrong thing tat fear just stays with me.

I just hope it's everything I remember it to be. I want to flourish in my next chapter.

I think what is hard for me to realise is that new chapter didn't include the love of my ex-family in Ohio. I can't stand those who are fake with me. Really bothers me, when others act like they care. When it's not genuine I want to just cry.

What are my top goals I am hoping from this new chapter:

1.) Getting my husband here is top priority.

2.) When good things happen I want to pray thanksgiving more praising God all more.

3.) Balancing a job and being a full time student life.

4.) Finding off campus housing a spacious house.

Continue making lists to reach my goals. I think that is a vital, thing I must do.

I lived in a small town outside of Huntington WV when I was like seven years of age or eight years of age. I can't really remember. I just know the whole year in the south as a kid was probably the year of my life. I mean other then acts of abuse from my parents, and the trauma that occurred there I had a great time growing up. I remember I had lost a lot of weight as a kid I had a lot of baby fat. At those times I had a great time, I got to run and have fun. I got to be a kid...

The hardest thing, was I had no choice but to live with my grandparents if they didn't take me in who knows what would have happened to me.

I know do that what I hope to gain from this move is more weight loss, a healthy appetite, and my husband right by my side again. This green card processing paperwork has been a pain. I really miss him and his touch. It's always lonely at night. When I'm used to sleeping with him always. We snuggle and spoon while sleeping together. When I got used to that it's hard to adjust, nor do I not want to adjust to this loneliness.

I miss that feeling of waking up by his side. And him watching me sleep. He would always bring me tea, or coffee every morning. I miss it all.

    Good luck with the move. These big steps always feeling daunting, but it sounds like you're doing the right thing and breaking it all down into manageable chunks. And I totally get the green card stress: my wife and I are from different countries, and securing her leave to remain was a far more difficult process than it needed to be.
