aight so a real quick blog post because of urg the big ole life decisions. This is more for my sake than for actually getting y'all to read this but whatever so I'm going to college in the fall, thus I've been applying to schools and such. I'm, uh, pretty good at school I guess? And so I just got a letter today. I never thought that getting a letter saying that you got money would make me so freaked out. So basically I spent this last weekend at my number one school, that we will call school A for the purposes of this blog post. School A is where my grandparents taught, and is within 5 minutes from where my grandfather and my aunt live. It's been my top choice for a while, because not only do I have family there, but I really like the faculty and the programs and the like. I was honored to get the highest possible scholarship that they got, which is half tuition for four years. A pretty good deal, for a private college. I've got a friend who may go to this school, and overall the only thing really keeping me from this school is the sheer amount of money. For a guy who is planning on getting a doctorate, this whole money situation is more than four years of school. Now we look at college B. College B was my safe school, one for me to go to if we just can't afford for me to go to school A. I thought it looked like an alright school, but I have yet to visit it. I did, however, think that it looked pretty good when researching it, which is why I applied. I got a letter sometime in the past 4 days or so, the days I was out of town at college A, from college B. College B is offering me, basically, a full ride and then a little bit. They are almost paying me to come there. Now, that was kinda the goal in the first place, but it also came with a requirement. I would have to commit to going to college B by the 6th in order to receive this money. In other words, I suddenly have just a little more than two weeks to decide colleges and I'm kinda freaking out over here. I would much rather go to college A, atm, but if college B is going to help get me financially to the next level... So now I am planning a trip to college b, and will likely have to make the three hour trip alone, because both of my parents are pretty much wrapped up until about the 8th. Things just got super real and i dont like it very much basically and man oh man .-. /endrealliferambling
