Planning to attend Grad School? If so which one and what do you want to study ?
Yes, I want to study English Literature in hopes of someday becoming a college professor. I'm also still looking into Law School, but we shall see. My Grad school choices, thus far, are Berkeley (forever and ever...) and Harvard.

Financial Aid
$6200 Cal Grant. Approx. $6000 in Berkeley Scholarships and Work Study. Quite surprised I got anything at all.

Any regrets
Sometimes I wish I could have gone to University right out of high school. But, I was only sixteen, so I held off on applying. Now, I'm proud I went the Community College route. I feel more prepared for the college lifestyle and workload...although I may decide to be a Super Senior and stay Three Years indead of Two. Muahaha.
