College

I tend to like when there is a set blog topic, as it takes away the painful process and yes I said painful, of picking what to write about.  Usually when there is a topic already set in stone that I must write about, it is easy to sit down and get right to work.  But clearly this is not the case this week as it is a wild card, meaning I must first think of a blog topic and then write about it.  Well after a little bit of consideration and thought I felt like writing about college and what is to come would be a good place to start, due to the fact that choosing a college you are going to attend must be done by May 1^st which is surprisingly extremely close.  It is weird to think that I was once a small freshman, thinking how long four years would be, and that high school would like an eternity.  I was so wrong, high school flew by, I can barely register how fast everything went, and that a whole new chapter of my life is about to begin.  I am sure the feeling of four years and how I thought they would take forever to pass by in high school will be the same for college.  As I ready myself for something completely new, to finally be alone as far as parental guidance goes is a little bit scary.  What makes this whole thing even more frightening is that I do not really have the slightest idea of which school I wish to attend out of the schools I applied to.  They all have really big pros and really big cons and with little middle ground in between each it had made the decision extremely hard to make.  The schools I have to choose from right now are NJIT, Seaton Hall, and New Haven University, although OCC is an option it is not really on the table, considering my parents have had enough of me and do not wish for me to stay another two years.  I am leaning more towards NJIT and New Haven University, and I have already visited NJIT I have plans to visit New Haven on Wednesday.  Hopefully after visiting New Haven I will be able to finally come to a decision on which school I will be attending.  My parents want me to attend New Haven but the choice is ultimately up to me as it of course my future and I dictate where I want my life to go.  The upside of going to NJIT is that I know a few people that go there already and that it is also very close to home so if needed I could come back home on weekends.  New haven on the other hand is a little farther away, but the campus offers much more to do as far as entertainment and the college itself is much nicer.  After Wednesday hopefully I will have my choice of schools picked out and ready to start a new chapter of my life.
