I am not bragging in any way, shape or form. I am simply blogging about recent occurrences.
BYU here I come! But which BYU, that is the question? I applied for both BYU-Idaho and BYU and I am happy to report that I was accepted to both for Fall! But now I have to make a decision and you know how I am about making decisions...
What am I feeling? Relieved. Accomplished. Everything I have done in High School has the same reasoning behind it: "It will look good on my college application". Everything I am and have been involved in has been for that reason and that reason only and those things I've become involved in have helped me learn how much I enjoy them. But my beginning purpose was for college applications. Ever since freshman year. And I am so glad that I don't have to do things for that reason anymore. But I don't regret it either. It's payed off.
Most of you already know that I am pretty set on going to BYU-I. Here are my reasons:
-I already have three wonderful roommates named Sarah Jean, Erin Rebecca, and Victoria Deloras (You may know her as my BFF cousin).
-I don't know what I want to major in. I have. no. idea. So why not go where I actually want to go, take some generals and then maybe figure it out and transfer to Provo. I really can see myself transferring eventually.
-I should be able to get a very nice scholarship so I don't have to worry about money as much as I would at BYU, where I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get any inside help.
-I have a brother going to school there (but I also have a brother who will be going to BYU Provo, so either way- family party!)
-And most of all, I simply need to get away for awhile. Have the college experience, ya know? I love all of you and I have the best friends and the greatest family members, but absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? A little living alone, start a new beginning thing would be good.
BUT here's the deal. Listen up. Idaho is NOT FAR. Come visit. If any of you do think it is far, then you need to get out more (in a nice way). And I still live here. I will be back OFTEN. And I expect to keep in touch with all of you. It's not like I'm going all the way to the opposite side of the United States.
BYU is a great school and I love Utah. I love the Provo bubble because I've been on the outside of it before and I love living in this different environment. If I do go to BYU-I, I will miss going to mission farewells, Timpview alumni events, BYU basketball and football games, and all the wonderful events that happen around here.
But I haven't made my complete decision yet. All this could change, but those are just my thoughts :)
