What a strange, exciting, frightening time we are all going through right now. The college search and application process is one of bittersweet value. We are finally reaching adulthood, finally coming of age, we are finally able to venture out on our own, to seek our passion, to make a name for ourselves, to seek inner contentedness.

But we are all still children. In one year from now, we will all be on our own, perhaps living in a different town, state, or even country, making our own choices. Will we be that much more different in a single year? I think not. One year is not far away.

We are ready. We are brave and strong. We are willing to seek these new, exciting experiences.

Plus, there will be nobody there to nag at you to clean your bedroom.

Exciting, but scary.

Are we ready?

The answer is yes.

I am prepared for the college experience. Here I come, world!
