I'm sorry if I sound bitchy and pessimistic, but I just won't. My parents want me to apply to Columbia University. I was considering it, I really was. Until I got some advice from my current English teacher, who was a college counselor last year.
I love him for giving me a realistic answer. It allowed me to see realistic chances and make a decision. So, there goes my ED plan for Columbia. Which is good. I get to save $70. But my parents aren't taking it too well.
"How would you know you can't get in unless you try?" That was the question my mom hit me with. Gee, I don't know, maybe it's because it's unrealistic for the school to accept me? I'm nowhere near their standards, so why apply?
It really scares me though. Thinking about college apps and the future and everything. I'm scared I won't be accepted into any school. I'm scared that all I'll receive are rejection letters. I'm scared of what my parents will think. I'm just scared out of my wits.
I really don't want to deal with this, but better now than later. Better to disappoint them now then when I get my letters in February and onward. Better to just get this shit over with.
