Honestly at this point, me and snow days are kind of just in the middle. I personally don’t care about “having a shorter summer” that much because it’s more meaningful to have a day off during the school year than one day of summer. In the summer, you would just waste away the day when you would use this snow day to catch up on something, be it sleep, work or just relaxing. But I mean… it’s like every week now, I don’t know where it’s going to go at this point.
For some reason the lady during the Naviance/Guidance thing today was obnoxious. All she was saying was things I already knew and she was expecting me to pay attention… no. I also absolutely love all this college stuff and are therefor informed of basic information like “grades matter most” and “colleges want someone well rounded” and “don’t judge a school based on rank.” So it’s like… stop I want to explore Naviance like a freak.
Also, I’m kind of like afraid to drive, which is kind of sad based on the fact that most people already do and either have their license or are really close to getting it. I feel like my parents don’t have the time or patience to help me learn driving better. I also feel like I need to just have someone who just like “alright let’s drive around your neighborhood a little then, bam get the heck out of here and drive on 140 you’ve just got to do it.” But no one I know would do that they’d be like, “don’t wreck the car blah blah.” But no matter what, I am not riding the bus senior year. I swear to god I won’t. It’s bad enough junior year.
I’m pretty sure that for college I know what I’m doing, which I’ve been saying forever but whatever. I’m going to apply early decision at Babson. I know, I know. Early decision? For realzies? That’s so permanent and stuff but you know what? From the minute I got on that campus after just visiting 3 colleges in Boston I just knew. All they do is business. It’s small, close to Boston, the freshmen dorms are waay bigger than BU or Northeastern. They even gave me a private tour of their theatre. It was really nice, but not that much nicer than Shrewsbury (which is nice to start with). So that means getting a stage crew position is not high stress or anything. They have a newspaper, Sororities/Fraternities aren’t huge, but they’re there if you want them. There’s only 300somthing people in your class so graduation won’t be 50003 hours long. And according to collegeboard.com (better than Naviance for most things I think) they received 166 early decision applications and admitted 102 of them (61%) compared to early action received 1021 and admitted 510 (49.9%) and 40% accepted in regular decision. So I feel like I should just do it.
