yeah i had it kinda easy too. i applied at Minnesota State University, Moorhead and didn't really have to worry about getting in... it's the cheapest college in the state. However, I flunked out of it in the second semester and quit halfway through. Now I'm going to a technical college that is pretty exclusive. How I got in there after failing regular college which is supposedly easier confuddles me... but I'm pretty excited nonetheless. When I went there I wasn't really trying to go to school, I actually was just seeing what it was because my plan was to go freelance. When I found out they wanted me I decided to give it another go.

Filling out senior year applications were a stressful, unpleasant experience. I don't miss it at all. The paperwork itself was a pain in the butt.

...oh wait... was there a question in this thing somewhere? XD

As many of you know by now, I am really uncomfortable just thinking about where I'm going to go to college. It's not like high school where the available options are the religious, private, or public schools in the general area. What if I choose the wrong school and work for years in something I don't want to do? High schools always seem to try and hypnotize you into engineering, but I find it boring. I don't want to be fooled into an area of work where I'll be rich, yet unhappy. What if it's either too large or too small? If it's too large, I'll be scared that I might get into the wrong group or shy away from everyone. If it's too small then I'll get too scared to talking to the only people there. What if the dorms are crappy? I'm too embarrassed to shower where other people might see. What if it's too far from home that I'll need an airplane to get back here? I'll miss the holidays and I might be near a disaster hotspot. Particulary tornadoes. Too close where when I get back from classes I'll be sitting in this exact spot? I don't want to be controlled by my own parents at 21.

So basically, I'm trying to go towards a school close enough to where I feel safe, yet far enough from my parents, that is lower-middle sized with good dorms and classes and with an ablility to switch majors without any trouble. However, that last part will be a problem, since majors tend to vary.

Basically, I try not to think about it as much as possible. Otherwise, I start thinking what if and worrying about what the school's like. Knowing how I am, there won't be a perfect school for me. From my past experience, there'll be two or more major flaws about it. Like the mini school reform. I don't like the dumb down (Passing grade from 70 to 60) and overprotect (Detectors at the entrance). I like protection, but there comes a point where I find things ridiculous and unnessessary. I suppose that's another thing I want in my college. Safety, yet not to the stifling point.
