College
Y'know... it's the first day of Spring Break and I'm already thinking way too much.
I finally had my in-depth conversation with my mom about which college I should go to this fall. I'm working on my UCLA marching band appeal right now, which seems like it will give me a reasonable chance of getting accepted into the school. But is that what I really want? To go to a very liberal campus with thousands upon thousands of stereotypical college kids drinking, debating, and rioting over basketball games? I'm not saying that necessarily as a bad thing, it would just be very different.
...But I suppose that's what college is all about. I'm supposed to break out and get an experince. Plus, I'd love to riot over basketball games, haha.
My other option is so completely opposite of UCLA that I can't believe the decision between them is so annoyingly difficult. Point Loma has an even smaller student body than Arcadia High School. It's a Christian campus by the ocean with strict policies against drinking and causing trouble on campus. It's safe, kind of like I am. They have a great music program, but no marching band :(
My brother Adam lives half an hour away from Point Loma, and my brother Eric is going to school about half an hour away from UCLA. I know some students at both campuses. I've talked to the music directors at both campuses. I've visited both campuses. I LOVE both campuses.
AHHHHHH

ucla?
