Well, lately I've been really stressed out with college. I guess most seniors do, but it's more subjective as far as "oh am I going to get in to this really nice college?!" when they shouldn't worry about it. I feel as if far more people worry than who should, I've found it's usually the girls with the high GPA's and extensive sports and clubs that are freaking out when it's not that big of an issue!
However, despite my lack of extracurriculars and sub-par GPA due to lazy underclassmenship, I'm sure I'll get into a fairly decent college. What bothers me most is that I can't see spending so much money to just GET in to a college. Don't get me wrong. Education is seriously one of the most important things in life to me. Hell, I want to be a teacher. But spending 10 grand on taking classes so I can get there? I'm not sure if it's worth it to me right now.
It's not like my family isn't well off. We're much more well-to-do in this economy than most, but I can't justify paying the price for a decent car to go. I know it's one of those facts of life I'm going to have to suck up and deal with it, but it still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
