The College Choice...

So, I've narrowed it down to two choices: Susquehanna University and SUNY Potsdam. I visited Potsdam this weekend and at first glance it wasn't what I was looking for. The campus was ugly and there seamed to be a ton of smokers. Two extreme turn-offs for me. After driving around campus me and my mom went out for lunch in town at a place on the main drag called The Bagelry. It was pretty good and very inexpensive. During lunch my mom convinced me to take the tour of campus and go through with the interview. So after spending some time in town we went to the admissions office to wait for the tour. Soon a blond girl who I want to say was a junior came up to us and introduced herself as Sarah. The tour was excellent, I rated it 10/10! During the tour I noticed that there were SEVERAL (this is an understatement) places to eat with over-the-top amounts of choices in every single one. This was alright but I happen to be deathly afraid of the "freshman 15," but it's all about control. After the tour and an interview, we headed to the bookstore where I found a great present for my friend and some t-shirts for my family. So, overall I did find some interesting things about Potsdam, but I think I liked Susquehanna just a little bit more, so I am really leaning towards that one. I liked it, but it didn't offer as much.

Drivers Test #1

FAILURE. Just putting that one out there. This is a message to all driving hopefuls. Enjoy.
1. Even if you parallel park and 3-point-turn perfectly, driving 20mph can still cause you to fail your test.
2. Don't ask questions, figure it out yourself. Note: if you can't, then you shouldn't be taking your road test.
3. Don't think the person doesn't care about you, EXPECT that they don't.
4. They don't care.
5. Everything will be your fault in the end.
6. Don't expect them to actually hear you when you say anything. Again, they don't care.

So, you fail your first drivers test. Just remember:
-It isn't the end of the world.
-You can take it again.
-Almost everyone fails at something...

MORAL OF THE STORY: NEVER EVER EVER BE AFRAID OF FAILURE. IT HAPPENS. GET OVER IT.
