All of my college applications are off, unless I end up appling to UW. I think they just extended their deadline to Feb. 1. I applied to UC Berkeley, LA, Irvine, and San Diego as well as Columbia, Northwestern, Yale, West Point (USMA), and the Coast Guard Academy. Supposedly I'm supposed to be all stressed out now, but that's not really my style. For some reason I can't get myself to stress over things like school. And I have the grades to prove it. It's interesting to note that the people who succeed the most are the ones who generally stress out the most over things like tests. You can be sure that they guy's who's getting a 97 in the class will be the one with the loudest moans after a hard test.
I wish so much that college wasn't so competitive. Not because of the stress and all that, but what you have to go through to get in. Like journalism. There's no way I'd still be editor in chief if I didn't need that on my college application to get where I want to go. The countdown 'till graduation continues. Saying good bye to room 18 is one the biggest reasons I'm looking forward to it. To loosely quote last year's EIC: "I've pretty much made up my mind that I don't want to be a journalist."
