Preparing for college is turning out to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. When I was a little kid, I thought teenagers just picked a college because they liked the name, drove there, and stayed for a few years. Oh, how I wish that were so! Now it seems like there are so many guidelines I have to follow, all these required tests, and graduation is looming over my head. Being in an online school, and my being so shy, I only know two people! The fear of having to go to a graduation ceremony with a bunch of people I don't know scares me. I know that it's probably not a big deal, though, compared to a bunch of other stuff. Still, maybe I can pretend to be sick and stay in bed?
Should I stay local, or go for an adventure? The practical side of me says to stay local. I can live at home, get state scholarships, and have time for a job. However, a huge part of me loves to travel - I want to see new things! I have a funny feeling my parents want to keep me as close as possible ... ;) I've been choosing "practical" my whole life. Should I change that now? Say, "hmm, why not?" instead of, "mmmm, better not..."? Ughh. How do they expect teenagers to make life altering decisions like this? It's like one day you've got the kid's menu, then the next you're expected to pay full price for a meal! There are seriously times when I highly resent being over the age of 12, or taller than the height limit in a playground. Before this turns into an even longer, sleep-deprived rant, I'm gonna stop right here. Oh, but anyways, how was your Valentines Day? I went to Chicfila with my youth group!
