Where do I go from here?

        I'll be completely honest- I am far behind when it comes to applying for college this fall but somehow I managed to do it. Applying in June and getting all the needed documents together maybe two weeks ago made getting into a good school appear almost impossible to me. But to my surprise, I woke up this morning, checked my email and saw that I had been accepted into Webster University.
It was such a wonderful feeling- getting accepted into a great school and thinking of the endless possibilities. Now I am another step closer to my dreams; I can study abroad in beautiful Germany and learn all about it from first-hand experience, I can receive my major in the German language and do something that I truly love. These things are all fantastic but at the same time, I'm confused about what is to happen next. Aside from all my goals, I also have personal connections and aside from the personal connections, I also must think of financing, where I will live or if I can afford to drive to the city every day. Is it always this hard when one is first starting out? As all of these possibilities develop in my head, a line from my favorite Disney princess comes to mind.

        You said it, Pocahontas! That is exactly what I am feeling at the moment. So where will I go from here? I guess I will have to watch both Pocahontas movies and then figure it out. ;) No matter what, I know that I should follow my dreams but I have no idea how exactly to go about all of this. There is so much that I want to do with my life and yet there are some things that I am not ready to or cannot leave behind. I love the mystery behind the discovery of where each path in life will lead you but it can also be frightening. Perhaps I will just drop everything and runaway to Germany as soon as possible. As of now, that seems like the best decision I've made so far.
