Is this a milestone?
I forgot to post about this earlier, but two weeks ago, I found out I got into graduate school! So I'll be getting my MFA in Creative Writing. It's at my alma mater and I don't get any financial aid the first year, but I got. I'd dreamed of going away to graduate school, but when I found out that I got in, I realized I'm not ready to leave home

And look, there's nothing wrong with doing grad and undergrad in the same place. Moving away for school is overrated, in my opinion. You already know where all the good stuff on campus is, you have experience, you can keep up with any professors you like which is always great for your resume.
Even if you did miss out on the deadline, you should still go by the financial aid office though: they may have info on other options, scholarships, loans, etc. Don't freak out.
And dude, there's nothing wrong with living at home at 23! I mean right now, with the economic situation, it doesn't make sense to rent somewhere else.
You're doing fine, basically. Grad school will be a whole new thing, a brand new chapter in your life, and it'll be a ton of fun. Enjoy it.

I know that and I know people who've done it, but it seems like you're supposed to try for somewhere else, somewhere more exciting, and that just didn't happen. On the plus side, I'm signing up for a class with a professor that I love because he's a Shakespeare geek who drops all sorts of pop culture references in class and is just really fun.
Yes, I need to do that, once my public television internship is done and I have a day off of work.
I know, I know, but I just feel like such a late bloomer, even though I really like living at home. I think the whole rejection process just brought all of my insecurities the forefront of things. I want to enjoy living at home for as long as possible, but I also want to get out eventually.
Thank you. You've been so supportive of the years. *hugs*
