YEEEE

Where are you in the process?  (apps, acceptances, denials, financial aid, etc.)

As college gets closer (by the day!), how are you feeling about it?  

How is your family?

What decisions have been made at this point?

What's on your mind?

I'm relieved that I heard from all my schools already. Unfortunately, I got denied from San Diego but i'm over it. I've been slacking off academically almost all through out high school (go figure, I would start slacking off when grades matter the most...) and it came with consenquences. That's alright though because this only makes me want to work harder.

As college gets closer, I get more nervous. I mean, I'd be excited if I knew where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do but I don't and it sucks. Most people already know where they're going, what field they're studying in and i'm just here... It's REALLY annoying and I feel like schools should start emphasizing more on choosing a career path because that's basically why we go to school, right? The school system just doesn't make sense to me sometimes.

My family is financially struggling. I mean, I think we've always been but now it's worse since we have a bigger family. It's kinda sad knowing how much we're struggling; my mom is working/volunteering on minimum wage (or no pay at all...) with a degree for work experience so she can hoepfully find a higher position with a better pay. My dad is unemployed and his lechon (he roasts pig and distributes meat)  business isn't doing so hot either. It's just sad. Not too long ago, my dad asked to borrow $500 for rent because he was short on money. I don't know, it just breaks my heart to see my parents struggling like this and that's why I'm leaning towards a CC, even though I really don't want to go to one.

I am applying to a lot of scholarship though. I recently went to Ms. Villagomez's class and picked up a buch of scholarships! :D

I have made no decisions yet.......

I'm just stressing because of college and finances and it really, really, really sucks.
