Depressed
I feel ridiculously without control of my life. I feel as though I'm being cornered into going to a college I have absolutely no desire to go to. I was accepted to Albany, and invited to join the honors college. my parents had me write the application essay today, which they like and say will get me in. I got a scholarship for half my tuition there, making it actually affordable for them, and so I wouldnt come out of it all with loans. my dad's boss' daughter is at the honors college with a 4.0 and I hear her name every time it's mentioned, so at least once a day. I got accepted to my safety today, with another scholarship, but because its an out of state, it still cost about 10,000 more. And Id rather go there 10,000 times over Albany.
My god, I sound so selfish, but if only all of my parents hopes for my college is riding on a school that is well respect, has already accepted me, and of nominal cost. Jesus why did I apply there? It was only for the financial aid incentive to other colleges, but now, despite how many times Ive told them I will never go there, they keep telling me I should (note: am).
Were apparently taking a trip there over break to have a tour and meet the boss daughter. They tell me I have to go with an open mind, but how can such a selfish and hell-bent being like myself do that?
I wish I was more grateful, by god I wish I was, but with every fiber of my body I cant give up a dream Ive had since I was in third grade.
God, why am I saying this where anyone in the world could read it.
