College - cue the sound of a million other high school seniors sighing as they sit in a class.
May 1 is finally here, aka it's also the deadline date of college decisions in the U.S. of A. To most people, this date is rather frightening - unless you've been accepted to an Ivy League school or have a generous amount of scholarship money. When you're past that stage, however, it's time for the college dreams to commence. And for me, it's been a good few weeks since I've started. Ahem.
I'll be attending Simmons College, an all women's college in the heart of Boston, MA. I met the girls of the Class of 2019, and talked to them through Skype and Facebook. Speaking of the latter, colleges make making friends so much easier through college Facebook groups. It also makes the decision-making more easy, since you'll get a feel of the kind of people and atmosphere in that particular school. They also let you meet future roomies. Hehe.
I met my roommate through the Facebook group, and we'll both be taking the same major + she likes the same things as me, and she's traveled to Europe a lot. Brownie points! We've already made plans to visit NYC together this summer, too.
When in college, I'll probably sign up for a lot of clubs and join a language class - Japanese or Chinese, perhaps. I also plan to volunteer at a local orphanage or at a charity organization, since I do like helping people for the greater good of the world. Heh.
But for this summer, all I'll be doing is planning for Move-In Day and shopping at vintage thrift stores and meeting up with my future coursemates and roomie. I can't wait!
