<p>Hon, I think you need to sit down and make a promise to stop torturing yourself. Start checking out what MHC has to offer. Research the area too. Once you start thinking about when you’re going to get tickets to the Six Flags nearby (MHC’s HR dept. has discounted tickets), and what you’re going to wear to the back-to-school or “pirates vs ninjas” themed Rocky Horror shows at the theatre across the street, you’ll feel better. You have to LET yourself get excited about all the options you may encounter. Here is a link that talks about last year’s orientation (I don’t know how much will reoccur this year, but this will give you an idea of the events that may go on): [Mount</a> Holyoke College :: Schedule of Events](<a href=“http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/dos/12607.shtml]Mount”>http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/dos/12607.shtml)
Check out all the cool second saturday events too: [Mount</a> Holyoke College :: Projects](<a href=“http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/dos/13659.shtml]Mount”>http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/dos/13659.shtml)</p>
<p>Have you registered for classes yet? ISIS opened last week for entering students. Definitely check out all of your awesome options. And check out the 5 college course catalog. You can’t take 5C courses until the spring, but you should let yourself get excited about your future there. Check out all the clubs you’ll be able to join too (MHC’s club list is here: <a href=“http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/student-programs/org_lists/adn[/url]”>http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/student-programs/org_lists/adn</a> and you can be a part of clubs at the other 4 colleges also). Also, join the MHC 2012 facebook so you can look at pictures of the beautiful campus and talk to other incoming students. Send me a message and I’ll give you my facebook name too. Surround yourself with more moho-related things! :)</p>
<p>Like you said, rankings do NOT matter. And there are many women at MHC who will change the world and end up having extremely good jobs. A great thing about colleges like MHC is that students have the opportunity to really carve out a memorable college experience, but grad schools also RESPECT the degree. You can have the best of both worlds: You can learn AND you can have a great career subsequent to your college experience.</p>
<p>Oh, and I can assure you that students at MHC are just as close to their professors. That is one of the major perks of a college this small, actually, so don’t worry at all about that. </p>
<p>Anyway, you know that MHC is a good fit because you yourself are saying it in this post. You’re focusing on what seems like a failure, but is really something that may have been a blessing in disguise. Sooo, start searching mtholyoke.edu, trust me. :)</p>
