To a Bright Future

Like many others, I've had college fore in my thoughts lately. Now that we're actually starting to hear back from certain places, I've reached a few conclusions and since this is my blog, I thought I'd share them here.

For a long time, I saw college as a stepping stone to something else - a springboard to my future. However, I've recently begun to recognize that college is a step in life, in and of itself. It's four entire years of my life. Rather than choose the college I go to for a certain program that will be beneficial to a future career or salary, I'm going to choose where I go based on if it's somewhere I'd like to spend the next few years of my life.

Many of you have probably already reached this conclusion for yourselves, but for me, this is a completely new train of thought. I think what made high school less than enjoyable for me at times, was that I saw it too much as a platform to college rather than as a unique period of my life that I'll never experience again. Of the choices I'm currently faced with, I've decided to favor the college that I think I'll have a better time at, rather than the one that'll guarantee me that future career that to be honest, I don't even really know is the one I want.
