College Applications

   So as many Seniors begin or already have started the daunting task of applying to colleges, I can't help but get more and more nervous as the weeks pass. I am terrified that I'm going to be one of the many, who's not good enough to be accepted to the ivy covered institution. 

   A few of my friends have already been accepted to their top choice schools. Which is amazing for them. And I am proud. It's just scary to think that as all these people get great news. You are scared you'll be left behind. And this is just because according to an office you aren't "good enough". You might not have the perfect SAT scores or do enough extra-circulars. I myself am starting the process. But there is so much you need to do. The applications, letters of recommendation, resumes, interviews, etc. that are needed for every school. And then you have to worry about how you'll pay for it. I'm trying to apply to as many scholarships as possible. But that will never be enough, no matter what. And on top of that, you still have schoolwork which needs to be completed so you can go to college. This all makes me just wish we had more hours in the day. But this soon, very soon we will all be walking across the aisle to get the diploma. And we will be able to go off to wherever we want. We'll be adults, who are free. 

   What schools have you applied/been accepted to? I would love to know. That is a major accomplishment, and you should be proud. Also tell me what major you plan on declaring. Your future awaits you.
