How to get into college
It made me
accomplished
 "I feel like I'm on track again! "
How I did it: I got kicked out of my mom's house when I was 18, and I moved in with an abusive boyfriend. I got away from the abusive boyfriend, and I needed to get my life on track, and get back in school. To get to and from school I needed a car. I worked my butt off, sometimes working 2 jobs, and I got a car of my own. Then I got my massage license, so I can survive financially while I'm in school. Lessons & tips: Even if it takes you a few years, it's worth it! Your education is priceless. Keep working towards your goal. |

so i’ve decided to apply to 7 schools. Beloit, Kalamazoo, Knox, College of Wooster, University of Vermont, Kenyon College, and Skidmore. My first choice is Beloit but that may change. who knows.
I think the first school i’ll hear back from is UVM because i applied rolling. They sent me a letter saying my application was complete but i haven’t heard anything since then. wish me luck!!!

Now that the senior year of my high school life is beginning- It has brought with it a new wave of anxiety in regards to the process of my higher education to come. College had always been something I kept in the back of my mind, something I’d never give a second thought. Now, however, it has forcefully thrust itself upon every one of my day dreams, every topic of conversation with friends and loved ones. It is coming for me, college, and my biggest fear is that I won’t be ready for it. I worry that I have not prepared, that I will somehow be unable to meet the deadlines or achieve the expectations. My newest goal, which i’m very sure will instantly place itself in front of all my others as far as importance is concerned, is to get into college.

I’m hoping to start there. Then go to a major school later. If I’m gonna be a music producer, I need this. Extremely.
Almost there!

I start in the fall! I had my loan workshop already (no way I can go back without loans, it’s just a fact), and I’m enrolled in classes! I can’t wait to go back-to-school shopping!
Accomplished!

I’m technically adding this in retrospect, since I just now signed up for this account, and am about to graduate from high school. It was a pretty important goal in my life for the last half year or so, though, so I feel justified in putting this one down!
I got into:
UNC-Asheville
UNC-Chapel Hill
New College of Florida
Duke University (this one was a bit of a reach, so I was thrilled to be accepted!)
And I decided to attend New College. Yay!

I’ve been on my own for over 3 years now, and working instead of going to school. A while ago I decided that as long as I’m going to work my ass off, it should be towards something, rather than struggling to barely scrape by. I couldn’t get back school because I’m working full time (at the moment I’m working 2 jobs and 7 days a week).
A couple days ago I just met with the financial aid lady at the local community college. I’ll be taking out some loans and hopefully be getting some grants. I’ll be getting back in school this fall though, and after VC, I’ll be transferring to a university. :-)

I’m currently a junior in high school, even though I’m almost eighteen years old. Which is mostly the reason I’d prefer to drop out of high school and get my GED and then move onto a community college. Even though my sister attend the same community college I want to go to, my parents don’t accept this plan. If I have to wait the two months until I’m eighteen to drop out and get my GED, I’m not going to be able to live with my parents through college, which is gonna make things a lot more difficult and prolong this goal for much longer! I guess we’ll see what happens… :\
