College Decisions

Recently, I went to the lower campus to talk about the colleges we applied to and committed to. It was very interesting, but it was weird to be the only person in that group to mention a lower-tier school. Some people were talking about committing to UCLA, NYU, UCSB, and Pomona College, while I was just there, like ” so after spending four years at a college prep school, I will be attending somewhere that is super easy to get into.” But yet again, I did it because I didn’t have the funds to do all four years, unless I wanted to sell my organs and bone marrow to the black market.

But at the end of the day, I feel I made a good choice for myself and my wallet. Instead of paying literally 100k over four years, I only have to do it for two. And I’m hoping that if I really lock in, my chances of getting into a good UC will be higher.

Waiting Game

I finally did it. I submitted my college applications to the Cal State schools and the UCs. It was totally stressful, considering how much I procrastinated – I literally met the deadline by one day.

I am so thankful that I have finished the application process. But I am just SO ANXIOUS to know if I will be accepted to one of the schools that I want to attend the most.

So now that I have finished my applications, all I can do is wait to hear back, and in the mean time, stress out. A lot. And wait.

And wait some more.

And as much as I can try to predict it and hope everything turns out well, I have no idea what the future holds.

All I can do now – besides MORE waiting – is cross my fingers and hope for the best.
