You know what, guys?

Forget college. I just spent 3.5 hours sitting down with my parents and discussing pros and cons of my college choices (at this point it's between University of Michigan and Wayne State).

I'm now even more undecided than I was before.

Community college. It's cheap, it's close, and you can work while you do it so you can get the hell out of home afterwards when you go to a real school.

S'what I'm doing.

Yeah, I know that's the smartest thing to do. Well, actually, Wayne State fills up that slot for me, because they're offering me a big scholarship. But it's essentially the same....gotta choose between expensive prestigious school and cheap okay school.

Thing is, I'd feel like I was settling for less than my potential if I went there. But maybe I'm just biased or something. Maybe my views would change once I spent some time there...but it's not as elite as U of M, which means I'd be around less of my type of people (i.e., smart ones), and when I visited the Wayne campus, I didn't feel at home there like I did at U of M.

Up until today, I thought the feel-at-home thing was the most important, since my parents said they'd cover tuition. But new things have come to light.

That is one hella lot of time. @___@

But you're not actually considering giving up on it! You're obviously tired of talking and thinking and dealing with college, but yknow.. it's the next step.

There'll be an answer eventually(promise!). ^___^; hang in there *sends supportive hugs*

ps. That Mountain Goats song you sent is good. :3 It's almost.. hypnotic XD I should listen to more acoustic stuff, really.

*fuzzy pink hearts*

Mmmmph. That's all I have to say about that.

I'm so glad you liked it! =D I can hook you up with all kinds of good acoustic stuff.

that sucks, lengthy parent convos do that to you, and i know full well.

i don't think i can give you selection advice, cuz i'd be quite biased, but all i can say that might be beneficial is go with what you feel is right in your heart. don't sell yourself short, you're a smart guy, don't let too many things hold you back.
