The College list and other miscellaneous things
"An idler, still seeking the storm that would drive her ashore on what was unmistakably, her destiny..."

~~Yes, yes, yes, what is Megan going to do with her life beyond high school...hmmm...the world may never know...
So here is the promised college list of all 10 colleges I have visited in the past few months...this is in order of how much I liked the schools all around (including campus, opportunities, social life and random things I thought were interesting). The first three schools are very VERY close in pros so are subject to change depending on the day:
1) Colby Sawyer College
2) Endicott College
3) University of New Hampshire
4) Boston University
5) Elmira College
6) Brandeis University
7) Ithaca College
8) Boston College
9) Cornell University
10) Keene State College
I expected to ADORE Keene because the education programs there are so strong. Quite the contrary, I didn't feel they had as much to offer as the other schools. The tour guide bored me to pieces too. She did not do a good job on selling the school to me at all.
As for Colby Sawyer and Endicott...wow, just WOW. Both were small, adorable campuses. The dorms were great because you have a chance to live in a suite style atmosphere which is a major pro for me. Endicott's downfall is the fact that they have no theater program :O However, there are plenty of theater opportunities around the area.
Colby Sawyer had an amazing Honors program and the admissions counselor strongly suggested that I apply for it. :D He also said I would immediately be up for the top scholarship at the school as well (well, not the full tuition one, but the one under that).
University of New Hampshire is awesome because of Wildcats hockey haha. Okay, so there's more than that. I would have plenty of friends there and would be in state, meaning something cheap and easy for my parents which is a big part of my college search. Neither of my parents are extremely wealthy and I don't want them paying back loans for a million years. Dearest Chris attends UNH, Alyssa darlin' attends UNH along with James Myles, Derek and my beautifully awesome friend Jenn Sculley. :)
Boston University and Brandeis are both colleges I wish to apply to because I would eventually like to pursue a Masters Degree at either of these universities. I can't see myself spending all four years of Bachelors education at eitehr campus, however, I would enjoy both for a year or two in order to obtain a masters degree (especially BU, being right in Boston)!
Alright, in other news, the last few days have been very trying on my mind and body really. I've been doing some hardcore workouts but have still been eating WAY WAY too much because of all the stress. It's summer, WHY THE STRESS?! Well, rehearsal last night, despite the downright terrible state of mind i was in, went amazingly well. I got compliments from both Pauline and Ariane, as did Courtney. :D I'm feeling better about this show already. <3
I think this little quiz was quite humorous (stolen from Ariane):

What Political Party Do Your Beliefs Put You In?
created with QuizFarm.com
I don't know how I even ranked as 33% Nazi, that is horrible. Honestly, though I'm not too familiar about what the Nazi party believed in politically. I'm obviously aware of their social beliefs but nothing along the lines of politics. So who knows!
On that note, I'm out. Gotta work one of my last days at Mcdonalds soon. Startin up at Market Basket in two weeks. YES! more dolla! Meaning more cash to pay for my Italy trip, meaning more money my parentals can put toward college. :D
La vie est belle.
^^please realize that...
