I'm tired of...

I understand you. My friends want to go to schools like PLU and UPS (I live in Washington, the Puget Sound area). I mean, UW Seattle is an amazing school --don’t get me wrong-- and I would be happy if I was able to study my field of choice there, but sometimes I wish that I had more options. Even y own study-your-a**-off-or-fail-at-life family is pushing UW. I really wish that I could go to JHU, but no one cares.

I know that some kids struggle in school, and forgive my cringe-worthy condensation, but I believe that everyone is capable of achieving a 4.0 GPA, and it’s your own fault if you don’t try. There are uncontrollable factors that may hinder a person, but they need to push through. Whenever I hear someone saying, “I’m going to community college, and then I’m going to marry a rich guy,” I cringe. When my friends say they want to go to a local college, I always think, “You can do so much more, though!”

One of the reasons why I don’t want to attend an instate college is because I know I’m capable of achieving more, and I don’t want to be in a school with kids who haven’t. Why try so hard if in the end you’re going to end up with kids who didn’t? Don’t misinterpret that – I love what I’m doing in high school right now, but sometimes I feel as if I deserve more …

Wow, way to blow my ego out of proportion to my already huge head. :/
