I'm writing an essay paper and I can't use the word "I". How do I make this sentence sound grammatically correct without the word I?
In just a few days, I will be off to college and many miles away.
Without seeing the sentence in context, it's hard to tell. Give me a few sentences before and after that sentence.
My girlfriend's love for me was apparent. In just a few days, I will be off to college and many miles away. However, her love for me will be by my side forever.
How do use sentence two without the word I?

If you can't use "I" then you shouldn't be using "me" either. How about rephrasing so that everything is in THIRD-PERSON instead of first-person? I take it your teacher's instructions are just that — use third-person.
His girlfriend's love for him was apparent. In just a few days, he would be off to college, many miles away. However, her love will be by his side forever.
To make the sentence sound grammatically correct without using the word "I," you can rephrase it to focus on the future event. Here's one way to do it:
"In just a few days, the departure for college and being many miles away will become a reality."
By using the third-person perspective, you remove the need for the word "I" and maintain the sentence's grammatical correctness.
