Hello once again everyone! It’s been quite a while since I got one and I kind of wanted to see how everyone was doing. I’m currently procrastinating on some homework I have to do and I was listening to a playlist I listened to all the time last year and it reminded me of the admissions and I realized everyone is just about done with this mayhem.
It was nice to read this post again. I can say that I still agree with everything I said here as I’m about to finish my first year. To answer @Lindagaf , my first semester was amazing!!! I got to be apart of a research program, I have a great job on campus, my classes are going well ( I came in with so many credits I’m technically a sophomore here!), and I’m doing all kinds of great things! I actually am really glad I didn’t get accepted into one of my reaches because had I chose to attend, there’s a lot I could be missing out on. I’ve done all kinds of things like get to meet future star athletes (perks of being in D1), spending time with my friends I’ve known since middle school and get closer to them, being close to home, playing sports and exercising in one of the best rec centers in the country, and pretty much everything else. I am so happy here. I know it may not seem like the best thing ever with all the stuff hs can throw at the end and that you may have not have gotten to your top choice college but just hold out. There’s something thrilling about the unexpected. Since being in college I’ve experienced more in a year than almost my entire high school career. In high school I grew up but I stayed pretty much the same person. In just one year of college I’ve had so many good and bad experiences that me last year would be in absolute shock.
