Okay, so for the past few weeks, I've been swamped by colleges emailing me and sending me cool brochures in the mail. It's great to know a college has your name in their files, but there are a lot of factors that go into deciding the best college. And before I can choose a college, I have to decide what the heck I want to do for the rest of my life, right?! I know, I know... This blog suggests that I've been wanting to be a travel journalist for the past few years. But that isn't something you just jump right into. So, I have narrowed it down to four possible majors: Journalism, International Relations, Political Science, or History. I have no basis for my choices other than the assumption that these may be fun/fulfilling. But they're all related, in some way or another, I believe. And they can all be applied to the final outcome of me traveling and writing for a living. So, I'm happy I guess. Four choices is a lot better than a four billion, which is what I'd been working with previously.
Another great discovery of mine is the power of college websites. Two in particular: fastweb.com and collegeboard.com. They are amazing because I can search a college and they give me all the stats, like average ACT score and number of entering freshman enrolled. It's actually addictive, in my opinion, since I've spent all this time without the help trying to figure out how to distinguish between different schools.
