Have you ever had plastic covering your head that you get the suffocating feeling of not breathing and panic erases any logic? That’s exactly what moving to a new place is like; especially when you don’t know a soul.

I moved from Wyoming to Montana to attend the University. When I moved I kept thinking to myself, “Oh my god, I don’t know anybody and I don’t think I can do this.”

Moving from a community where there is a HUGE population of Indians to a city that is mostly white was a culture shock.
