So, I finally made my collegiate decision, and I am quite proud to announce I will be attending the University of Georgia come Autumn. It was a decision made based on a lot of factors, including but not limited to the price-education ratio, distance from home, offered classes and majors, school environment, and location.

Woo! I'm going to be a Bulldog. Don't worry, though, folks, now that I am a legal adult I am slightly more committed to hanging out with you all; that is pretty much the hugest slightly I've ever had in my entire life.

So, YAY, and all that good stuff. Now, I only need to devise a way to survive until graduation.

Heh. I applied there. Apparently they didn't particularly want me though. . .Ah well, hope you enjoy the place. The key to survival is sanity. So long as you stay away from it, everything is fine. Wink

Well, congratulations on your decision. Hopefully your education turns out to be worth more than the price you pay for it. (We're still not sure about that one on our end.)

I got into college once and was excited...Then I realized I actually needed to attend classes and do assignments.

Now I'm less excited. ^_^

Good luck Sham...Remember college is about coming out with an education...Not with plans for the ultimate bong...Beer or otherwise.

Godwyn- I'm sorry that it happened. It seems to me that colleges are getting more and more difficult to plan for. I was able to make it into Georgia Tech, which is ranked somewhere from 34-37 in the country, but not Boston College, who is at about a 42 or 43. It's a crap shoot, for sure. I'm sure you'll do fine, and to some degree, the school one attends doesn't make such a huge difference.

Silver- Thanks so much! I certainly hope so too. I'm still torn between what I want to major in, but with HOPE I shouldn't need to worry about being in the red coming out of college. Either International Business/Affairs with a Double Major or Minor in World Languages/French.

Antinua- Thank You! I remember our team chant from 8th Grade Football,
"What time is it?!" "GAME TIME!"
"What time is it?!" "GAME TIME!"
"There a dog in da house?!" "ROOF ROOF ROOF ROOF!"
"There a dog in da house?!" "ROOF ROOF ROOF ROOF!"
Offense and Defense shot this back and forth for about a minute before we broke before the game.

Doot- I, ironically, do not know very many alumni. It seems that so many people in this area North of Atlanta are coming in from so many other places nowadays!

GAAZ- Trust me, I recognize the difficulty presented at college. Actually, I will likely be trying out for the honors program after my first semester.

Blackmage- I hope I won't have to... Haha.

Whooo! So many responses.
