Life as a "Future Student"

So as you all might know, I am a Senior in High School this year! FINALLY! But with that independence, I have learned, comes a lot of responsibility and many important decisions! Everyone always says, "Man i cant wait to get out of high school!" But when I started to have to make all these life-changing decisions, I say "Way not just stay here for a year or two more?!?" I mean, I think we take granted how easy High School and being a "kid" really is. However, despite my want to just sit down and let the decisions be made for me, I have to be an adult(blah) and make them myself.

So I didn't want to do the typical Oxford or Starkville thing that just about EVERY senior makes when they live in Desoto County. So I started looking at colleges not too far and not too close to home. Nashville, TN was the first area that popped into my mind. I Have family out there (my sister and her familty and then my moms sister and her family). It isn't too far away, only about 4 hours. But there is still one big problem! There are like 3294729837418 colleges in the Nashville area! Ha Which one do I pick?!? A public university, a private college, a community college?? WHAT?! So during this stage of my college search I'm like...

FREAKING OUT MAN! I mean, wouldn't you?! I mean not only do I have all these colleges to choose from, but i have no proccess of elimination. I have NO idea what I want to do or major in. Do I want to live in a dorm?? Or do I want to live with my sister?? So i want to have my own Apartment?? How will I afford that?? DO i want to have a job all through college?? Can you tell I am a bit detail oriented?? Geez as I am writing this I am just thinking about how much I have to do and then I'm like....

Wow! I think I am over-reacting. Except not because here it is...November of my senior year. And I have yet to  apply to ANY colleges! What the heck man?! PS. The people in Starbucks are probably looking at me like I am a crazy person because I keep laughing out loud at myself as I type this:)

So I suppose, Prayer is one thing I can ask for from you all. Prayer that I don't loose my mind trying to find a school, while still going to school, and working full-time. Ain't no thang though;) I am trying to be positive and find peace in the madness of life! This is my trying to be positive face....


Ya know?! ha
PS...Mark, If you read this...Animal Rights just came on while listening to my music! Now I'm
