College!?
14 years ago
Holy shit! I just applied for college.... o.O
To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel. It's an odd mix of excitement, and crap-my-pants fear. But I'm pretty confident that I'll be accepted, between my ACT scores, grades, the small amount of extra-curriculars I've been able to cram into my senior year*, and the fact that I'm a 'legacy student' applying to the same school my dad has graduated from.
So this is that 'big step' everyone always talks about. That ellusive thing called college that teachers, parents, and school guidance counselors cram down your throat from middle school. It's hard to believe I'm actually there now. That I'm right on the edge of the 'big step' and I'm excited, and scared at the same time. But I'm ready, and I know I'll do well. XD
*I am fully aware of the fact a person should participate in extra-curriculars ALL years of high school. But I started at a tiny high school that had jack shit for extra-curriculars, so I changed schools (a little late, but my bullheaded mother prevented me from doing so earlier) for the sole purpose of taking harder classes and getting some extra-curriculars and clubs included.

FA+

I did the online application, so I don't know if they send an actual letter or an email, but yeah, it's all about the waiting game now
