Soooo different!

I applied to one school, which I chose mainly because I liked the school mascot and colors. After a year I realized that was a silly reason to pick a school, so I transferred… to the school where my boyfriend went (it did earn me an MRS!).

The biggest difference I see is the extreme amount of pressure and competition kids face these days. I don’t remember feeling one iota of stress over the college process, and I don’t recall my parents discussing it much at all! Such a different world we live in now!
