Nicole got into C.W. Post. Holy shit I am so proud of her because honestly a few years ago I wasn't even sure if she was going to graduate high school. Her asshole parents don't want her to go to college - they want her to go to bartending school or beauty school. But I told her, "Listen. It's YOUR choice. NOT theirs. You make the best decision for yourself."
I sometimes forget that college isn't an instinctual segue for everyone once they graduate high school. I forget that not everyone has ambitions or knows what they want to do with their life. Not that there's anything wrong with that; I just lose sight of the fact that my closest friends and peers are different compared to the vast majority of teenagers.
And! CONGRATU-EFFING-LATIONS RACHEL FOR BEING ACCEPTED TO SYRACUSE!!!! Remember that conversation we had about truly knowing what it's like to be rejected to our first choice schools? Well, fuck it. Because where we're going? Those schools are perfect for us. We just didn't know it a few months ago. Don't forget about me all the way upstate while I'm down south avoiding retaining a southern accent.
Today:
