So, I fell in love with the College of William and Mary yesterday. It is my dream school; it's beautiful, and the town's amazing. I don't think I stand a chance in getting in, but I've basically decided that I will have no social life for the next month/2 months, just so I can send them amazing Senior grades to make up for my shitty Frosh year. Because I live in Virginia, I'm going to be paying about $8,000 tuition for a lib arts education, which is unbelievably cheap, considering most lib arts colleges are about $30,000. I got to visit my friend and her boyfriend while I was there, which was awesome. I think I'm going to try to apply early decision there, so even if they defer me to regular decision, they'll see it's my first choice. I'm just afraid they'll flat out reject my early decision application, and I'll be left, depressed and really discouraged. College admissions suck, although the common application is my new best friend. http://app.commonapp.org/ Here's the link for all you college-bound seniors, the school(s) you apply to might accept it. Well anyway, I'll try to update more often. -Em
