How to pick a college
It made me
relieved
 How I did it: I went on tons of college visits... probably too many, but it's a great way to get a good idea of what the school is like. Over night visits are great too. I ended up just going to the cheapest school I got into. I'm super excited though! It's a big decision but if you end up not liking the school it's not the end of the world, you can always transfer. Just don't worry about what other people think and choose the school that's the best match for you not for your best friend or your mom. |

And a major. Or, at least a general area of studies. I cannot pick from the vast list of subjects I am interested in. Ranging from art to special collections restoration with hundreds of things in between. It seems impossible. Can I just go to college for the rest of my life? Oh, yeah. I have to pick a college, too. I’m thinking St. Rose’s in New York. Or Dominican in California. Shit. I can’t even decide which section of the country. Eegads. Imagine if I could go to another country. Unfortunately, we’re broke. My mother’s job allows a tuition exchange program within hundreds of US Catholic schools. I think my head is going to explode if I continue thinking about it.

I need to do this as soon as possible so I can know what requirements I need for college ahead of time. I need motivation to raise my very low gpa. I also need to know if I need to start making a portfolio of any sort(because I’m considering going to some sort of arts college) and if jobs and volunteer work will be important to have(although im sure they will for basically all good colleges)
