once i wanted to be the greatest....
i'm going through a little bit of a life crisis right now. colleges didn't go my way, at all. i'm having a hard time dealing with that fact. i got rejected by nearly every school i really wnated to go to save three where i was i was waitlisted - bowdoin, carleton, and wesleyan, all of which i would absolutely LOVE to go to. so i'm going to be

i appreciated that reply more than you could ever understand
it actually meant a lot to me.
thanks so much
i'm sorry your situation is so bleh also. i guess not all of us can finish off high school as we planned
i would say go wander around europe or south america next year as you want. societal norms are terrible. it's these societal norms that cause us to have a family with 2.5 kids in the subburbs and all the stereotypical stuff that comes with it. for some people that works, but for me (and i'm going to go out on a limb and say you) it just doesn't. follow your heart, as it will never point you in the wrong direction.
i'm tempted to take a gap year, but i'm anxious for college. i'm oh so anxious to meet new people and escape from my suburban hell/paradise that i'm stuck in. i know i'll end up loving UCSB (when i visited it last year i absolutely loved it) and i'll meet the right people and everything will be ok, so i don't think my situation warrents me taking a year off at this point.
but please do follow your heart and go wandering. i went to san francisco today and wandered for 6 hours and had the best day in months. i found more than i knew existed and enjoyed it so so much (though my aching feet definitely did not!). if in 6 hours of wandering i found so much enjoyment, i can only enviously wonder how much enjoyment you could find in a year of wandering
i'll add you back :]
