College Search
Sunday, September 30th, 2007One thing I don’t miss about college is looking for one!! My friend’s sister-in-law is a senior in high school this year, and she’s looking at what college she might like to attend, from Gibbs Melville to my Alma Mater. Obviously, that’s where I’m encouraging her to look. ![]()
I don’t miss looking though… trying to choose a college was seriously stressful. I had been planning on going to the local Christian college, but I just wasn’t sure. They weren’t offering what I originally planned to study. I was already in, and planning on attending when I decided to apply to another school just to “see if I could get in.” Well, they accepted me too, and then I had to make a very difficult decision. In the end, I decided to go two and a half hours away, where I would know noone. Had I stayed local, I would have been in school with many people I went to church and to high school with. I can’t say I didn’t second guess my decision a few times, and sometimes I still wonder if I made the right choice. I went to an excellent school though, and it was ultimately very, very good for me to be away from home, out of my comfort zone for awhile. Good life experiences.
