College..........

So since summer has started i have been obsessed with thinking about college, i have spent so many hours thinking about what i want to do in life, looking up schools , planning my budget for the next couple of years to save money, and weighing out the pros and cons of going to college far away, or staying close to home. it is all very streesful. for now my major is going to be landscape design/management. BYU-I is the perfect school for my major, it is cheap, right in town, and has all of my dream classes. except for the fact that i dont want it so close. i have always wanted to go to college at least a couple of hours away, just to get out and see a new part of the world. my dad gave me a lecture the other night about college, because i really want to go to BYU-Hawaii, but it is more expensive and doesnt have my major (i would just go there for my associates). he told me that if you have a cupboard, and the only thing that is in there is potatoes, then you have to eat them, no matter what way you cook them, they will still be potatoes. (potatoes=BYU-I) i told him that no, BYU-I was the maggot inside the potatoes. ha. but listen, i am very happy for anyone that has chosen that school, i really am, its just that i have never really wanted it for myself. so last night, i went on another frenzy of college searches and was looking at majors at BYU, i have looked at their majors before, but it never said that it had a landscape/horticulture program. but last night it did!! i must have missed it or it was hiding or something. so now i am going to work so hard so that i can hopefully get in there. i want it soooo bad, and i have two siblings that live down there that are my best friends, so that makes it even better. so i registered for the ACT again and ordered a huge prep guide book and will study like crazy once i get it. anyways, sorry about that huge rant, but it is nice to tell someone who isnt going to run away, ha :) i hope to see a post from all of you soon. love you!! -logan
