I’m not going.
My parents said that it’s just too much.

I just really hate how they get me all pumped up about this whole “boarding school” thing for 2 years, I lost some of my friends, a LOT of sleep, and my grades dropped. I studied for the SSATs for 1 year, got a 97%, and spent probably around 500 dollars on SSAT prep classes that lasted from 5 pm-11 pm 3 times a week on the weekdays. Boarding school was the “bane of my existence” for two years.

They KNEW what they were getting themselves into, even without the financial aid. My mom was the one who SUGGESTED boarding school, and “dont worry about the money, just worry about getting accepted.”

I know this happens sometimes, but I cant help but think that it was a major waste of time, money, and a disappointment.

So Literateur, I guess my non-existent financial aid’s gonna go to someone else who really needs it.
