I feel like I just goofed this whole application process. I should have applied to a few more reaslistic schools, and I should have loved my back up (UT). I wish I had applied to Duke and Vandy, but wishing won’t make things better. There is just something inside that doens’t settle right when I think about ND. However, after some hard thinking I find myself excited about it, but then I get that weird not good gut feeling again. I keep saying no no UT, but I think I might be denying that it may be a good fit for me. The problem is I can see myself on both campuses. A conformting thought is that I have never heard of anyone who went to ND and hated it. I just keep thinking about the cool people I met, the awesome campus, and the sweet Jordan Hall of science. I’m afraid to think that UT may be the way. I know it’s dumb and at UT I can go anywhere afterwards, but the ND prestige and name keeps going through my head. I know I need to go to the place where I’ll be happiest regardless of name. Why do the students at Dame love it so much?
