Journal Entry #3

In the preparations for college there has been so many confusing, major, and complicated decisions I've had to make. Those which include which school to attend, whether to change my major, where I want to live, how I'm going to afford college, and whether I really want to pursue my future in radiology. All tough choices but I believe for the majority I've made some pretty smart ones. I've decided to attend UNC-Charlotte where I will be for just one year unfortunately. I found out Charlotte does not have a program that relates to Radiology besides the science you need. After my long haul through Charlotte I will most likely transfer to ECU or CVCC. CVCC is probably going to be my first choice because they have one of the best radiology programs after UNC-Chapel Hill; pretty amazing. Deciding where I want to live is still in the toss up. I want to move into an apartment so bad, but once I transfer to CVCC, if so, I will be going from an apartment back to home? I think not, I don't think I can do that, I could move into another apartment up around CVCC but not by myself. That's a bit ridiculous. I couldn't possibly do that after living an amazing year in an apartment. The next large decision I had to make was how to pay for college. Unfortunately teaching fellows fell through in its early stages and after that I decided to change my major with out notification to the guidence office. So day after day I'm sent these wonderful scholarship offers that I have to turn down because I no longer want to teach. So opportunitites that I've been given I have to pay for college by taking out loans and I'm on my own with that. College is stressful so if you're yet to be a senior, GET STARTED NOW!! Good luck with the preparations for college.
