College.

Scholarship day at Wesleyan was Saturday.

In case you don't know, this is when high school seniors compete for a bunch of scholarships that Wesleyan gives away.

It was really fun!

It was great to tour the campus, which is really beautiful,

And there was lots of yummy food.

All of the competitors even got a box of chocolate for Valentine's Day!

I received a $12,000 scholarship.

I was a little disappointed, but with Pell that is enough to pay for tuition.

I will probably use a loan to pay for housing.

While I had hoped for maybe a bit more from scholarship day, I'm happy to have had the experience.

And while I know it will be hard work, I truly am excited to attend Wesleyan in the fall.

I'm pretty sure I will attend. Georgia Southern invited me to their scholarship day in April, so I will also compete then and see what I might get. I would love to attend either college. I love Georgia Southern's gym, their library, the dorms, the campus, everything. It's a really nice school. Though I do love the people at Wesleyan and the academics. Either way, I think I will love wherever I end up attending.

I can't wait to make new friends and see new places and do new things.

I find it all really very exciting.

Sometimes I wish I could skip to the part of my life where I am graduated from college, have my degree and a great job, and am making lots of money.

Sometimes it would be nice to be able to go to the store and not worry about only being able to spend this much, or feel guilty for buying something because I know that money should be for college.

I suppose that time will come, but sometimes it IS hard to wait.

But, nonetheless, these are still some of the best times of my life, and I know I will treasure them as I grow old.
