College
Yesterday I missed school to attend a tour at UIC. When I was driving to the school, I kept thinking to myself if I really wanted to go here and if this was the best school for what I want to pursue in life. What I was wishing to get out of this tour was to really see if I could see myself attending this University and see myself being friends with the students around me. The tour was about two hours, we walked around the dorms, the rec center, and sat in a classroom to get informed about UIC. After the visit I finally realized that I could see myself walking around the campus and being friends with the students. So now the next step is applying and getting accepted. Then my Life begins..

Good for you. I think that's what you should do when deciding on a college and don't be paralyzed by thinking there is a right choice - there are just different choices. Please remember to relate your posts to sociology. This post could be connected to sociological imagination but you did not show that.
ReplyDeleteTalking about college is always really exciting and kind of scary. Our society has taught us to beleieve that it's where we NEED to go right after high school, but thats often not the case. It's good to consider all aspects of the college, so I like what you said about checking out the atmosphere before really investing yourself in a school.
