So College..how complicated of a process is this? Essays, applications, guidence cousilor(sp!) forms, sending transcripts...so step 1 done!
Step 2-scholarships, yea that parts kinda like in limbo-i filled out Bright Futures and sum Disney Scholarship-so yea still have sum work there.
But now acceptance and chosing where to go??
Got into:
USF
FSU
FGCU
UCF(however i got accepted for summer session w/a 30 day deadline to reply-didnt reply bc i didnt really care if i went there or not- so technically, that ones out)
Waiting to hear back from:
UF (only got summer session for UCF most likely means not accepted to UF-but i wont hear till the end of March)
Okay-well knowing all this, ive pretty much rulled out FSU. Dont know y, just doesnt really interest me i guess. So that leaves USF and FGCU and possibly, but not likely, UF.
So My parents and friends of the fam really want me to go to UF and ive always been a Gators fan
FGCU is where the love of my life is
USF good location, nice school
So what do i do?
Make my parents happy by going to a big name school
Or make myself happy
Ive always been a gator fan, but it doesnt seem like enuf to push me to that school.
On the plus side, it would be a great education if i could get in, and even if it wasnt UF, USF would be the 2nd best thing.
FGCU
bad to make decision based on Keith-i understand and i agree.
However, it is also a nice little school (which im used to)
in a nice location (close to the beach!!!)
and despite making the decision based soley on keith isnt good, hes still a huge factor. I love him so encredibly much and goin to a different college would be extremely hard.
Basically what it comes down to is FGCU has the comfort factor-ppl i know, sumone to take care of me, look after me and help me. Small campus, near a beach.
While UF or USF is more stepping out into the world-most likely not knowing anyone (Alex at USF, so this is basically more towards UF, the not knowing anyone part) Then a massive campus, which scares me, ive never gone to a huge school. I dont wanna get overwhelmed and freak out my freshman year, ya know-its a big transition as is and i dont wanna make it more than i can handle.
I know ive said this b4 but i wanna go to FGCU. I mean if i want i can always transfer in 2 years to a larger school if i want to do that.
Sry, i was just kinda thinkin to myself and needed to write it down-its a lot longer than i ment it to be! lol sry im sure ya'll understand tho-this is a big decision that is hard for lots of us! xoxo love ya'll!
