College...

So, it's that wonderful time of the year where all the seniors in high school are hearing back from perspective colleges. Most of the time, I don't really think that much of it, it's just, "Oh ya, college next year..." But every once in a while, it hits me. This time next year, I won't be where I am right now, in any way what so ever. Most likely I'll be in new city, living on my own, and figuring out who I am as an independent adult (this is my first "post-turning 18 post, by the way!). The other thing I often find hard to believe, now that I have received 3 rejection letters from schools, is how a school can just reject you! It sucks to think that they don't want you to be a part of their student body. I did, however, just get accepted to UCSB, which is the first school I've heard back from that I would actually consider going to... I can't wait to hear from Cal and San Diego State! Those are my top two choices... cross your fingers everybody!

I first learnt about you through Jed's blog (I think he may have been referring to you; correct me if I am wrong). In accordance to their suggestions, I think your blog would give great insight to your readers (including me!) about a life they would otherwise have no idea about.

All the best of luck to you on college acceptance! :)

Hey Alva, congratulations on your acceptance to UCSB! And good luck with the rest. It is a harrowing process, but you will thrive wherever you end up, and they'll be lucky to have you.
