Sooo....Recently I got back from some college visiting! Aren't those fun (A little sarcasm here). This was my Midwest tour, including Earlham, University of Chicago, and Grinnell. All good schools, but I'm looking for someplace that really fits me, and that's hard to know when sometimes I don't even know myself. Will I still be the way I am now? Or will I change when I get to live by myself? In college I could create a whole new identity, because no one will ever know what or who I was before. At Earlham I could live a very quiet life (which is sort of how I live now), but at Chicago I could go out and have a pretty exciting time. Will I want to change? And these are just three! There is also Clark, Geneseo, Oberlin, Goucher, Green Mountain, Purchase, Georgetown...on and on and on. It will be such a change I may not want to change any more. I want to have a real college experience, socially and academically, but when all the classes are demanding, how can I have the social experience too? There are too many variables to even consider...here when I still have to survive senior year! (All that stuff about how senior year is so easy? I'm guessing-at least for me- that's pretty much screwed already.) So if anyone has any insights, I'm completely open to them!
