Hi there stranger.

I haven't posted on here in such a long time.
I guess I haven't had a lot to say.
I've been doing a lot of thinking, a lot of stressing and a lot of dreaming.
I don't know about college and you don't know how much I would like to know.
It's always in the back of my mind and there's really not much I can do about it.
I have to wait for all the lovely financial information to come in but the colleges don't seem so concerned about getting all that information to me....
I received a bit of advice from an older family friend.
She told me: Don't fear anything. Just breathe. It's all going to come together.
I keep repeating these words to myself.
I'm feeling the pressure and I don't do well under pressure that I cannot give a well educated answer to. But I tell myself that somehow it will happen and things take time every once in a while. As hard as it is for me personally to accept, I know it's true.
Love, peace, and woodpeckers,
Maggie

I've Been a Miner for a Heart of Gold.

I love Neil Young's music. Bit becoming obsessed but those things happen. And they're for good. I promise.

So I will reveal to everyone my big secret! All nine of you! And I'm thankful for each one of you so here's your reward:
I WAS ACCEPTED INTO COLLEGE!!
And not just one.
I'll post them in order of response.

1. Regent University- My dad's college.
2. Franklin Pierce University- It's right near my grandparents and aunt and uncle.
3. Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts [MCLA]- A friend of mine goes there. Cute area.
4. Emerson College- Located in Boston, which I love and thus right near my cousin.
5. Emmanuel College- Boston also.

I have more reasons to applying to these places than just those. They all have my major for one. I want to go into Public Relations. Most likely for businesses but that's not pinned down yet. It will be awhile before I decide everything.

So, I like all of the colleges. A couple more than the others. A couple were safeties but I don't want to rule anything out.

I can't decide. Everyone tells me: You'll just know! Well guess what, I don't. I don't have anything against them I just don't have one I love over every other.

Money is always a factor, of course. But when is it not?

I don't know if I should be listening to people who say it doesn't matter as long as the degree or if I should be making connections with professors in my field.

This year is a year of decisions. And I know that for better or for worse they will be my decisions. That thrills me and scares me. But I have confidence in myself and I'm grateful my parents are not pressuring one over the other. They understand that this will affect where I will be living for the next four years of MY life. This place is where I'm going to decide who I want to be as an adult. And that's exciting. I want to be somewhere I'm happiest and feel safest. And there are so many factors that come into play but I'll be fine and I'll figure it out.
I know I will. I have time to do it too.

Peace, Love, and Parakeets,
