This whole college thing is actually pretty scary to think about because applications are due at the end of the month and I can literally feel everyone's stress levels rising around me. The scary thing for me though is that I don't really feel stressed and just about all of my friends have their college lives just about planned already while I'm sitting here kind of relaxing. Not that I don't have an idea of what I want to achieve, because I do. It's just leaving some of the people that I care about. Some people don't talk to each other after high school and I don't want that. I want to keep in touch with the friends I made in high school. Basically what I'm trying to say is that I'm afraid of college splitting up some of the friendships I have. I just want to make senior year the best and hopefully not lose contact with friends.
- So, where are you guys planning on going to college?
I agree. Like I don't want to lose contact with friends of like 5 years, especially since I'm not really good at maintaining contact with others. People would text me and I would either text back within a nanosecond or they'd have to wait a year and a half before hearing from me again. I just hope our friendships are strong enough to withstand time.
ReplyDeleteHi Mya! I'm in the same position you are right now. I should really get started on my applications. I have a list of schools I'm interested in, and none of my friends are going to any of them. I'm toying with the idea of going up north for college. I'm probably not going out of state, but I'm thinking about UC Merced which is about two hours away from San Francisco. Most of the schools I'm interested are up there. It's kind of weird for me to be applying to schools so far away from home when a lot of my friends are going to Cerritos or Long Beach. I'm also a little concerned because I won't be around my family. I'm going to be floating around up there by myself, which is really scary. We went to San Francisco for a vacation one year and I loved it, so they kind of brought this on. I'm going to miss everyone, but I'm confident that things are going to be the same between all of us when I come back. I have a great group of friends and I know they'll support me even if I'm a bit farther away, or no matter how far away I go. So now I just need to move forward and apply. They'll be here when I get back.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand what you are saying and let me let you know that you are not alone. I also have a huge fear of moving on to college and losing the amazing friendships I've had the pleasure of making in high school. And I also feel that everyone around me is stressing and preparing for this huge step after senior year. However I hope that soon I'll be just as prepared and that we do remain in touch with our high school friends. As for your question I plan to go to community first.
