i moved from upstate new york to vegas at 18, and it was a blast. sure its scary, but once you get to the new place, its so exciting.
im sure you'll do fine, yeah youll be freaked out for for the first few weeks, but youll find that soon enough you'll feel like youve lived there forever.
good luck to you! if you'd like any info on the socal area, PM me, i have a sorority sister that lives in santa monica and a really good friend who lives in ventura when hes not here -- but i go visit his mom and dad whenever i get the chance..... but anyways - its a GORGEOUS area. and secretly, UCSD is my dream school
but again, good luck to you and your trip!!!!
