My parents and I have already discussed the issue with paying for college. This will probably sound ridiculous but I’m not too interested in going to the east coast or any other schools besides what I listed. I don’t have a problem with my safeties because they are the colleges in-state.
As for the reading, yes, I do despise it but but it only applies to the reading poetry or old English or trying to understand the effect of some sort of rhetorical device on the passage as a whole. When I read, I read for fun or to learn about something I enjoy.
