Your (Kid's) Brain on College Admissions

<p>I think a lot of my neurons died in the process. I was the one who told my parents about deadlines. Deadlines deadlines DEADLINES. Whenever they see me on the computer for hours searching up scholarships my dad would tell me “get off the computer now and go study. You can skip a whole semester for all I care but you have to get the grades for a damned scholarship”. YES I UNDERSTOOD HIS POINT but universities don’t give out much scholarships during the Spring semester “due to limited funding” or whatever. I made that clear. But anyway, I gave up on applying early and now I gotta miss a year if I wanna study in Texas.</p>
