Your Rose-Colored Glasses

Hey my majessties,

So, winter break is basically over. I know a few people who have already started school. I begin this coming Monday and I am not looking forward to the onslaught of essays and exams that mean everything in college but nothing in the real world. And I feel even worse about them for those kids still in high school. When you're there, they give you these rose-colored glasses that make you feel like what you are learning will actually help you in college. Your professors teachers are still trying to make you think that their classes are like college ones. They are lying.

Breathe a Sigh of Relief

Hello my Majessties,

So, for all the seniors this year, it is officially time for us to take a sigh of relief because January 15th has come and gone. College applications have been in the back of our minds for months and finally they are done. 

For me, the most important thing was to get the applications done as quickly as I could. So, I applied Early Action for all of my top choices. Once I got accepted in December, I was so happy I would not be running around during winter break trying to make sure I have some sort of future to look forward to. 

I cannot even tell you how relieved I was when I was accepted into my two top schools first. That meant I didn't have to pay any more applications fees or stress later in the semester. 

The Future is Real!

Hey my Majessties,

So, it's official, I've committed to a college! I am now a University of South Carolina Gamecock! And while my dad may not be too excited about the mascot, I am so ready to move on from high school.

Seriously though, finally deciding is just the biggest weight off of your shoulders. And it was really weird how I finally decided. I had just visited there and the other school that was in the running and I was so confused. Both were great in their own ways and I had no idea which school was more "me". I know, corny but whatever. Go with me here.
