Currently waiting on college admissions decisions. Of course I was one of those people who waited until a week or two before the deadlines to apply, so of course, I'm going to hear at the last minute. Fail.

Where I applied (outside of CSUs):

Mills: No idea what my chances are for Mills, but I'm hopeful since my interview went really well, and I had awesome letters of rec and a solid essay to back me up. I'm just not sure if I had everything they wanted, and I was too lazy to check. I would be really happy if I got in, and it was my top choice for a while, but I don't know. I'm looking to go very far, or at least far enough. Mills is really just around the corner. It doesn't feel like it, but still. It would be nice to say I got in though.

Whitter:
I applied to Whittier on a whim and I'm pretty sure I applied after the deadline, but I got a letter back asking for the rest of my stuff so....hopeful? I did more research and it looks pretty cool. Middle of nowhere, but good enough.

SUNY Buffalo: I don't care so much about Buffalo. Upstate New York? Cool beans. My chances aren't bad, probably 50/50 chance of getting in. It's just a matter of financial aide and the fact that I know nothing about that area.

SUNY Purchase I'm not sure they got my transcript >: Purchase isn't a reach, definitely a match/almost a safety, but I'm not sure what's going to happen. Their journalism program looks good. It has really awesome courses, and the school is less than an hour outside of the city. Hideous campus, but the school itself seems badass. I don't have many complaints, I just don't know how I feel about New York anymore. If I really hate it, I can transfer to Columbia or NYU, and still live my dream.

Columbia:
Aaron calls it Columbia with a K. I'm so in, it would be a tragedy if I was denied. Even though it's easy to get into (open admissions), it's still a great school, and I have no doubt that I will like Chicago. People have been asking me where I am going, and I've been saying, "Columbia, most likely," so that's good, right? I have some dedication to it. My fingers are crossed for Columbia!

I just want to get into college already, damn.

Life is going really well, even though I've been irritated by certain actions by myself and others. I'm slowly getting over everything and have decided to look for a reason to smile after every sucky day. Doing that really just makes life better and I am totally digging it. It's definitely time for a new start!
