I wish I could have a do-over button
to see what my life would be like at each college, who I’d turn out to be, who my friends would be, where I’d be the most successful, where I’d be the happiest.
I’ve been getting my college acceptance letters recently, and I have to make a decision soon about which school I’ll spend the next four years of my life at.
If I go to a small school, I could focus on academics, and probably not have an intensely stellar social life. If I go to a big school, I’d have a little more difficulty focusing on academics, but I’d have a great chance at a social life.
Or I could go to a party school. Goodbye grades.
Or somewhere cold. Is a full ride really worth freezing my butt off during the winter and sitting in my dorm for four cold months? Maybe.
What if I pick the wrong one?
