Oh the joys of College Admissions

Today was supposed to be the day that I ventured to the University of Memphis to discover if the school was the right one for me. However, yesterday i was informed that it was fall break. Although slightly irritated that i would then be visiting no college on this all-important long weekend, I was relieved to realize that i could sleep and work on applying for the few colleges that remain and for scholarships to others. As I have been looking at all the applications and what they require, I begin to wonder how badly I want to attend those place. An 1000 word essay here, a 300 word statement there, plus $50...Knowing that i have already been accepted to 3 schools, including my top choice at the moment, I just don't know if applying to the remaining schools is worth it. I simply don't know what i want, and, therefore, I should keep my options open. I really want for this process to be over. It is simply frustrating. Thank God that He knows what is in store. I just want to know where God has me for the next for years of my life. I want to just focus on that place, not on 6 different ones. I am excited to live my life. I guess this is what being a senior is like. For some reason, I think it is not as great as it is cracked up to be. But, i think it could be worth it. After all, it is the way to get where i want to be. So, now that the day is coming to an end, I am left with a long list of to-do's and a wonder of what is to come. I am anxious to know what God has for me.
