How my senior year is going. If you ask me it seems kind of strange, it's different than any other years I've faced. It's less stressful but more stressful at the same time. I have ambivalent feelings in the first quarter of this year. The workload for me is definitely less, but college preparation and deciding on where to go is very frustrating. I know that choosing a college is one of the biggest decisions of my life but choosing what to study for the next for years is an even bigger decision, because I do not feel like wasting money on a career that I am not going to purse. I would have to say that this year has been the most frustrating out of all of my high school years. Lacrosse letters from colleges, Coaches calling my house it gets to be too much at times. A matter of fact two weeks ago Mercyhurst college came to my house for a visit, they offered me a scholarship of $18,000 per year. It was one of the most memorable moments of my life. I've only seen situations like that in the movies but to have it happen to me was quite overwhelming. It has been two weeks since they have made the offer and I am still contemplating on what to decide it is an astonishing offer but my heart tells me to go to Syraucuse.
Syracuse is my dream school. It is the university that I have wanted to attend since I was 9 years old. I remember telling my father "that's what I want to do play lacrosse and go to school at Syracuse University. That would be a dream come true to make the lacrosse team of a premier school. I am so confused on what to do. It's just that choosing what you want to study in college seems so permanent, it's like you go to school for that and that's what your stuck with and I don't want to be one of those millions of people that are unhappy with their job.
I must say this is the most stress I've ever been under.
