The stress that comes with senior year and applying to college has just hit me. I have my Common App done and am applying to two schools like, tomorrow, so I'm basically ok with keeping on schedule and getting stuff done. It's the eventual having to choose where to go that's stressing me out. I want to stick around for the people I love, but I know it's also important to go to a school that I love. On my list, my number one choice is also the farthest away. Knowing I will have to make a decision sooner than seems real is making me anxious and stressed out, and I can't stop feeling this way because I'm going to have to choose; it's not something of which I can rid my mind.
I'm applying to McDaniel and Marist early action. I absolutely love McDaniel. I'm not really interested in Marist, I'm just applying because it's fairly easy to get into and it offers early action, so I know very soon whether or not I got in. My mom knows people who go there and love it so... why not? I'll have to visit it to be sure, but it sounds all right.
I'm already out of the habit of coming home and getting my homework done. I'm getting behind in all of my classes and even though I'm managing to keep my grades up, they could be MUCH better. I think it's important to be focusing on my social life too, though. Maintaining loving relationships is more important to me than getting into a good school, and I'm cool with that.
I have stuff I really need to do... so I'm gonna end this here.
