Ugggghhh…

Greetings, squadlings!

We’ve reached that point in the semester where everyone is dead inside. It’s the week before Thanksgiving, and everyone is struggling to keep themselves motivated knowing that we only have two days of class next week. It’s not going well.

Apart from struggling to stay awake, we all know what’s coming in a few weeks: FINALS.

Talk about dead inside.

As you all know, I applied to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the big ol’ university in my hometown, which is three hours away from the school I go to now. The problem is, Madison won’t tell me if I’ve been accepted or not until the second week of December. Which means, if I do get in (which is highly unlikely), I will only have one week to pack up my entire life here in Eau Claire, take my finals, and go home. Then, four days later, I’ll be back here for my family Christmas.

So yes, these next few weeks may actually kill me. I’ll try to update as best I can. Don’t expect much.

Be well, squadlings.

And Now We Wait. And Wait. And Wait.

Greetings, squadlings.

As you know, I applied to the university back in my hometown. I’m sad about the thought of leaving my current university, but eager to find out if I’ve been accepted back home.

EXCEPT THEY WON’T FREAKIN’ TELL ME UNTIL THE END OF DECEMBER.

If you know me, you know I am the most impatient person in the world. That is why I pack for a trip three weeks in advance. I DON’T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ll get into the university back home anyway, but either way, I don’t want to wait until December to find out.

My current university sent me an acceptance six days after I applied. I applied to the university back home two days ago, and I’m already impatient as all hell.

THEY HAVEN’T EVEN SENT ME AN EMAIL CONFIRMING THEY GOT MY APPLICATION YET. They’ve emailed me confirming they received my transcripts, but not my application. OKAY.

So, yes, now we will have to sit and wait for the next two-and-a-half months to see if I got in or not.

Wish me luck, squadlings!

Well…That Happened.

Greetings, squadlings.

Yes, it’s 10:30PM on a Monday. Don’t judge me.

It happened, kids: I’ve officially applied to the school back in my hometown. I sent in my transcripts about five minutes ago.

I don’t really know how I feel right now. I’m definitely sad. I love my current school. I don’t want to leave, but I do. I know that doesn’t make sense.

I also feel like a complete and utter failure.

I worked my ass off to get to my current school. All I did when I lived at home was talk about how I couldn’t wait to go to my current school. And now that I do, I’m trying to go back to the town I spent 20 years trying to leave.

I feel like I’m letting everyone, especially myself, down. My parents have spent so much time and money getting me to this school, and now, after just one semester, I’ve applied to get the hell out. I thought I could be here. I thought I could handle being three hours from my hometown, from the only life I’ve ever known. And I can’t. And it sucks.

If I don’t get into the university back home, then I’m staying here. As hard as it will be, I will not go back to community college. I’ll stick it out here. And I have a feeling I won’t get into the university back home, so I don’t even know why I’m writing this.

At this point, I don’t know what I’m going to do. If I get in, I’ll go home. If I don’t, I won’t. I don’t really know what else to say.

Be well, squadlings.

The Time Has Come…

Oh. Dear. God.

Greetings squadlings, and apologies for the lack of posts this past week. I’ve been working and getting crap done for school.

Well, friends, the time has come: The application for Spring semester 2017 at my -hopefully- future college has gone live. It’s happening, folks: I’m officially applying to transfer out of my community college.

That’s right people. I’m adulting.

College apps are a lot easier than I thought. Maybe because the University of Wisconsin system application has all my information saved from when I attempted to apply for an actual university before I decided on community college, so I really don’t have to do much. Also, to whom it may concern, no, I did not send in an application anywhere but the school I currently attend. I’m lazy.

Thankfully, though, a friend of my cousin’s goes to the school I’m planning on attending, and she’s letting me come up and crash in her dorm for a night later this month to get a feel of the school. HELL YEAH FRIENDSHIP.

Wish me luck, squadlings!
