So, you want your nipple or your nose pierced?
So, almost everyday at lunch we talk about college.
I'm not enough of an angsty adolescent to pass up the Hope just because OMG Georgia we have conservatives, and parents, and SKY, and AIR, and other horrible things beside. My meaning basically being that Georgia is just as bad as anywhere else. And if it's willing to pay for me to go to college then who am I to refuse?
Exactly.
My list right now is pretty freaking short:
1. GSU: This is my number one. They're in da ATL and I love da ATL. That pretty much fulfills my main requirement. That the college not be far away in the hills of Georgia. I've seen Deliverance and I know what happens in the hills of Georgia. The only difference is that I have no Burt Reynolds to save me just in time with an arrow.
So there's da ATL. And from what I read GSU is technically academically just as good as UGA but it's way smaller. And I hear freshmen dorms are pretty sweet--which is better than UGA as well.
The negative is that I'm not so sure they have the best journalism department. Like, they have one. But is it any good? I mean, what if Mrs. Barth somehow ends up there? Teaching me. Or mostly just scowling. Scowling me.
2. KSU: Um, yeah? They're in Kennesaw? Which isn't exactly da ATL. But it's not so bad. There's a mall nearby! And a Steak&Shake! Which are two things that should probably be on my list of Things-A-College-Needs anyway.
The negative to this is that I'd be going away to college in the exact places I grew up. Sort of. There is really nothing new to experience there.
(Unless, of course, you count going to college and being an adult a new experience, Ashley Marie!)
Sorry.
I could definitely live at home. Which isn't so bad except that it kind of ruins my entire mental image of college. Which involves a lot of reading on grassy fields wearing lots of muted wool clothing and glasses. And talking about Nietzsche. Because all college kids like three things:
1. Sex
2. Beer
3. Nietzsche
3.UGA: Everybody will be applying. And I do not say no to peer pressure. The popular kids wouldn't like me if I did.
But the admission criteria is really foggy. Like, there isn't really a specific SAT requirement for kids who took AP classes and made good grades in them. They mentioned a 1000, which I definitely sort of got a higher score than. And then there's:
"At UGA, the only minimum score requirements in place are the ones required by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia for admission to its four research universities: that is, an SAT-V of 430 and SAT-M of 400"
And yeah. I'm just being bitter because I know that I won't get in. Not that I want to get in. But they should at least give me a chance. I'm so cute, you know?
Also, freshmen dorms at UGA? EWE.
In short, maybe I won't go to college. Maybe I'll buy a bus and paint brightly colored flowers on it to drive out into the desert somewhere and just live in it. The plan is to open up my own piercing parlor. Something about changing my name to Star*Dust and poking holes in people is very appealing.
