collegiate
The college meeting tonight was fun - getting to see friends whom I hadn't seen since June (yay!!). But it has made me start to worry about college!!! My list keeps changing. It's like it is stubbornly refusing to stay the same. I research new colleges and discover programs at places that I didn't knew existed before. I examine my ambitions and second-guess myself because I am always changing about how I want to get where I want to be.
I want to be a writer eventually - write books. I've always wanted that; it's been a constant for so, so long. Everything else is a backup career! An imperitive backup career. I think it would be hard to just start having books published right out of college and well, one needs money (brilliant deduction, Oliver). I could be a journalist in the meanwhile! (Major: journalism/communications.) I could work... in a museum! I like museums. (Major: history with a concentration in a specific period, most likely 1800s.) I feel like I may have to triple or quadruple (is that even possible?) major just to, um, "cover all the bases". Just to make sure.
I loved Bennington a few weeks ago, but then I learned more about it, and realized it is extremelyextremely liberal, which I am not. I don't know what I am, well, I don't like politics! And it seemed quite political, and activist, and such, and well, I'm a prude, and I guess I'd be "moderate" if you must talk politics. So here is a list that is Subject to Change:
Amherst
Wheaton (MA)
Quinnipiac
UMass-Amherst
UConn
Endicott
URI / RIC
Wesleyan??? I forgot to put that on the list I turned in tonight!
Connecticut College? Forgot that one too!
I am Confused. I KEEP CHANGING MY MIND. And all of the schools except the state ones in there depend on my getting financial aid and a lot of it. Good Goodness. Y'know, money. Really. I think that in the Garden of Eden, the green thing was not REALLY an apple; it was money. Money is so pretty and lovely because of all the amazing things one can buy with it, but it is so annoying because it controls so much! I think the metaphor fell apart before I even wrote it but oh well.
I am too indecisive!!! But one can't just JUMP into something. It's my FUTURE we're talking about! AKA, a big thing.
Holy holy potato.
