I’m not really sure what to write. Mostly I’m just tired and ready for the weekend. I’m also wondering if I’m going to have so much homework all the time. I dont think I can manage that on game days, that will be hard. THe past 2 days have been good. Mostly a blurr though. The schedule changing and trying to get back in the responsibility mode is tough. Also my handwriting is horrible. Which I dont understand becaus eI had a job this summer I wrote most of the time I guess Im just not as used to it. im really excited for my art class I like art class its always a no stress class which is good. Also, it relates to the career I hope to pursue so I guess its good that i enjoy it. Well Seeing as this is the last piece of homework for the night i think I will get ready for tommorow and go to bed. Goodnight!
These articles offer a lot of good advice on college. It talks about different types of colleges and what they can offer. It better explained the purpose of ivies and encouraged students to look at different types of schools.

The most prominant emothion I have had while college shopping this past year has been stress. So many colleges and institutions want so many different things it is hard to keep straight which id which. Also the financial side of just applying to college is a cause for stress as well. my top three colleges are Seattle University, Brigham Young University, and Washington State University. I know alot about Seattle university as I attended thier college Planning Day and have talked to a student that I know personally. One thing I learned more about was a scholarship there that I was interested in. At Brigham young I was able to find financial aid information and finally at Washington State i learned that they do not require an essay! I have begun some of the application processes and so far I’v learned it is alot of work, it makes me think if this is what they want to get in I wonder if I can survive. I know I can though and I know I need to be organized.
