The College Search: pt.3

Finally! After a gueling couple of months of nothing but college essays, after the many long nights spent editing, reviewing and revising, and after waiting for what seemed like forever, I have gladly recieved my first college acceptance letters. First, to the University of Alabama (and its Honors College). Then to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Then to Centre College. Sewanee, Depauw and the University of South Carolina. All of them said yes. I think that I am finally starting to realize how much my effort in applying to these colleges is paying off. Originally, I didnt think that applying to 16 schools was a good idea. Thankfully, I stuck with it and I am starting to see why it may have been one of the best things that I could have done for myself. So many of my friends are simply applying to UK and calling it quits. I, however, have 15 other possible choices of where to spend the next four years of my life. With that said, it will be a tough choice as to where I will spend those years, but I believe that I definetly have an edge up. Whatever college I decide to attend, I hope that my experience will stretch my mind in ways that it has never been stretched before. I hope to come out of my college days with a clear mind and a plan for what I want to do for the rest of my increasingly optimistic and determined life.
