Would the perfect college for Ellen PLEASE reveal yourself! She's getting antsy.
Okay, sooo I know you really don't want to hear about my college choices and all the different opportunities I don't know how to take advantage of, but suck it up.. because you are about to hear it. If you are going through the "selecting a college" stage right now as well, you might know the, well, I don't know how to say it..AKLJGHLSWGFHLAQHLFJKFHLFJ feeling. If you are one of those people who have decided what you are going to do with your life, where you are attending college, and where you are going to live, please feel inclined to jump off a bridge. Ha, okay so I was just kidding.. I'm actually just jealous of you because you have a plan. A plan I'm in the process of making.
So you might be thinking to yourself, wow, she is an idiot and really has no idea what she's going to do (which is only partially true). I AM an idiot for putting college decisions on the back burner for so long, but I do have a partial plan. I KNOW I want to play volleyball literally anywhere that will pay for most of my tuition. If that doesn't end up happening, I will attend Wartburg and play there. Not that there is anything wrong with Wartburg or other DIII schools, but they do not offer athletic scholarships like other DI and DII can. So right now, I am in a comfort zone knowing that I can go to Wartburg and not have it end up being too expensive due to academic scholarships I have recieved.. But yet I am still seeking other places willing to pay more. Ehh? Please, for my well-being, just agree and say it sounds like a somewhat decent plan.
Another problem soon came up after looking into random colleges across the nation (name a state, any state). What the heck do I want in a school?? Every time I come home from a visit, I have very few negative things to say about the school. I don't know if this is because I am a laid back person in general, or if I'm just not at "the school for me". I also know that weather conditions or the distance from home won't phase me in the end so there are few factors helping me narrow down my oooberly important decision. Some people know what major they are interested in, but it should come as no surprise to you that I, again, am undecided. I never thought that having too many interests was going to be such a setback! I love art/design but I am also very interested in possibly attending medical school as well. Which makes me, as I said before, a VERY much undecided senior with the worst case of ajkhas;djklghals;dgj emotions in her gut.
I'll tell you a little about a couple schools just in case you were curious as to some of the places I'm looking into. One coach from Longview, Florida (I believe) e-mailed me the other day saying that for conditioning, the volleyball team went swimming with dolphins. For SOME reason, I think I could handle that!? Another school is located a few minutes away from the heart of NEW YORK CITY. Again, I find myself okay with the thought of that. A school in Texas has a 71%(male) to 29% (female) enrollment rate.. So that school is definitely still in the running! ha JUST KIDDING. I don't want you to be under the impression that I don't take this decision seriously, because I really do. It's just that it can be SUCH a life changing decision and I don't want to have an opportunity pass me by without even considering it. In a nut shell, I'm waiting for the answer to my "college selection" to randomly fall from the sky... Is that too much to ask?! :)
