Alright, so senior year is a lot harder than I thought it would be! The college application process is NOT easy my friends, especially when schools like Yale ask about six essay questions! I suppose the chance to attend is well worth it, but I can’t help it that my brain is on over drive half of the time, and in a complete block the other half. Also, I can’t seem to catch senioritis (as if I could with all the work I’m being assigned >.<) \u00a0I hope I get a case soon though – maybe that way I’ll be a little less stressed. I’m taking a de-stressing class this week. Yes, it’s that bad. Let’s hope I pick up some helpful tips. If I do, I promise to share them!<\/p>\n

As for my common application, I’m on the fourth draft of my essay. I’ve already applied to Fordham for Theater; I’ll tour the campus when I audition. I can’t really believe I’m saying that. I feel like the time is going by so fast. I’ve applied to Northeastern already as well. I visited a couple of schools in Boston not too long ago. I tell you, Boston…Boston is amazing. My parents are being really fantastic about the college process. My parents, brothers, an awesome cousin and I all spent several days in Massachusetts to visit a couple of schools we were interested in – Boston University, Harvard, and Northeastern for me and my cousin, and MIT for my tech-savvy and musically talented nearly sixteen year old brother (although he ended up really liking Northeastern too).<\/p>\n

The Theater programs are no joke, although at Harvard I’d have to create my own major. I like how clean it is over there. I’ve known New York my whole life, so I’m extremely comfortable and excited about the possibility of going to school there – be it Fordham, Adelphi, NYU’s Tisch – but I also like the removed, yet not removed feeling of the University land that is Boston! NOT TO MENTION CARNEGIE MELLON IN PENN. (Did I talk about Yale’s library? I almost died inside there).<\/p>\n

At first I thought that I would make a list of Pros and Cons for the colleges. Instead, I ended up figuring out which schools might work best as my partners. I want to go somewhere where I can give as much as I get. I’m not going to reveal the results of that project quite yet =)<\/p>\n

I will say, however, that I’ve decided not to set my heart on anything. The truth is that there are a lot of great places to study any one subject, and that setting one’s heart on a particular place is an icky set-up for disappointment. Instead, I’m waiting until I get my letters, whatever they may hold, and then choose what I hope will be the healthiest relationship, if I’m so fortunate as to be allotted that!<\/p>\n

Now, to finish getting those applications out….<\/p>\n

Good luck to all!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
