Most of the time, Elena has to pinch herself to believe that she's actually here.
She still doesn't know how she got in. Her grades for her junior and senior year weren't exactly stellar, but she's trying not to question it too much. Questioning things in the past two years has never gotten her anything but trouble, and she wants Stanford to be a fresh start. A clean slate where she wouldn't have to worry about Klaus, vampires, werewolves or witches. She would just get to be Elena.
She really missed being Elena.
(However, even if she just wants to be Elena, that doesn't mean she forgets everything. She still gets an apartment off campus in her name, just in case.)
Right now, however, she's wandering the campus and getting used to her surroundings. Everything about this is amazing and larger than life. It's not Mystic Falls, and there's a part of that that's completely terrifying, but also exhilarating. She's not little Elena Gilbert, the girl who lost her parents and nearly everyone else she's ever loved. She's just Elena Gilbert, freshman English major at Stanford University.
This could actually be fun.
Provided she doesn't kill someone by colliding with them on her first day. That's what she gets for looking up.
