the college post.

this is where i write to tell you all about the beginnings of my college search. i'll preface by saying that i have been set on going to OBU for about 3 years now... kay. so yesterday my best friend's mom was over, and we were all talking about colleges. so she and my mom came up with a list of colleges i could consider. that list is: Stanford, Rhodes, Vanderbilt, NYU, Pepperdine, Wash U, SMU, Princeton, Hendrix... plus a couple more. they decided that they wanted me to aim higher than OBU. which is understandable. i am fully capable of going to any of these schools. it's just a HUGE wake-up call, because i haven't ever actually thought of having to look at colleges a whole lot before now. it's also a wake up call for my attitude towards high school. i take AP classes, and i have at least a 4.0 but i really don't try my best. i just kind of do what i can to get by. i'm gonna have to step it up. haha. but for real. ummm there was something else i was going to say. oh yeahhh. if you noticed, besides Hendrix, the closest any of these schools are to LR is 2 hours. and quite a few of them would be over a 24 hour drive away. that's far. the thing is, being far from here doesn't seem to bother me. i would think it would... but it's exciting. going into something completely new would be so exhilerating to me. i'm ready for adventures. we are planning trips to visit.

let's do this.
