<p>I have spent 2 yrs at a “normal” college, and after my first year I decided I wanted more out of schooling so I applied and waited all 2nd year to find out I got my appt 
I totally agree with PatriotCPM because I believe I have lived the life of a normal college student, I even joined a sorority (not the best idea, but still a good way to be social and have fun). But still, TacticalNuke is right, once you go to a normal college, you’ll wish you did more. Ya, things are going to be WAY different once June 28th rolls up for me and even though I’ll miss my friends and the fun parties, I’m going to be getting so much more out of my life by taking this path than I EVER would’ve if I stayed at my current school!!! Friends and parties only get you so far in life, but the things I expect to learn at the Academy will be WAY worth leaving the typical college life behind.</p>
