Starting my MSW program in the fall in Colorado after 9 years of living in DC (and 11 years post undergrad) and y'all overwhelmed is an understatement.

I don't have a car right now because I didn't need to get a new one after mine died and I'll likely need one in Denver and I'm so stressed about this.

And I'm also stressed about affording all of this in general. I haven't gotten my financial aid package yet, but based on the COA, there's going to be a gap between what I get in aid and what I owe the university - plus cost of living and stuff. I have a job interview but it's for a seasonal role and what if I don't get it?

On top of all of that is just the stress of moving to a new place.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited but today has me thinking...wtf did I get myself into?

I'm waiting on my financial aid letter and I'm worried about the gap (assuming there will be one) between the aid I qualify for and the cost of school/living.

I'll be moving to Denver and I'm all anxious because I don't immediately have a plan for what kind of job I will get. Mind you I'll be moving in August. It's way too early to look for a job. But I'm so anxious about making sure I find a part time job to make sure I can make ends meet.

And then I'm worried about focusing on studies while also working and how those two will balance each other out.

I'm just feeling really anxious today about all of it. Is anyone else in the same boat?
