The College Search

College. Cant wait for it. From what I have heard from a number of my good buddies, it is the best four years of your life. This awesomeness comes with a price. Before I can even get into one, I have to find a college that fits me like a glove. So far, my parents have pushed me to explore as many options as I can. Although the process of researching and finding out about the different programs in every school gets repetitive, I think it will allow me to keep my opportunities numerous and my options ever-increasing. Starting at the end of junior year, I started to visit some colleges and universitites that I could see myself at in the future. The list has already gotten pretty long but here is the rundown for some of my favorites so far:

1. The University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa, AL
2. The University of South Carolina - Columbia, SC
3. Centre College - Danville, KY
4. Depauw University - Greencastle, IN
5. Auburn University - Auburn, AL

All of these options are also being considered with the possibility of swimming for their programs. Some are more competitive than others but either way, I hope to land myself in a place that I will be happy. 

Senior Year

Well, here we are again. Another year in school. One more before college. This summer, I really didnt give a lot of thought to preparaing myself for the new school year. I have done this for 12 years now and its kinda routine at this point. I wasnt nervous like I was in third grade. I walked in with the confidence that I was in fact older than most of the other students at my school. Thats pretty cool. I feel like I know this school like the back of my hand. In fact, helping people like my brother adjust to this high school experience make me feel like I know what im doing. It really is somethin to have someone look up to you for advice and I am always happy to provide it. It seems like these days are just flashing by. I kinda wish everything would just slow down so I could enjoy my senioritis filled senior year properly. Yup its true. I have the 'itis just like every one of my buddies. It feels cool and wierd all at the same time. I think this year will be fun and relaxing but also challenging and very important. Anywho, I am definetly looking forward to it and cant wait to make it the best year of high-school yet!
