Transitional

Alright so I'm back in high school and I was right it is different but I made the right choice.
I love the people, I love teachers actually caring about me, I love the experience knowing this will be over soon, I love having time to myself, I love beginning to love my family. I am so much happier here and I know it's for the best.
I am going to play soccer this spring, work at camp loucon this summer and be a camper again :), I get my senior pictures taken this summer, I am going to take dance classes again next year. There is so much more time on my hands, I actually can relax and watch T.V., I know what a luxory right?
Me and the boy are finally official and I couldn't be happier. He is so amazing and I am so blessed to have him in my life. But we both know how to prioritize each other. My friend said I spent every free moment with him a couple of days ago and I thought about that accusation which turned out being completely false. Now that we're 97 miles apart we see each other every 2-3 weeks and it is so great when we do. I saw him this past weekend and we had an awesome time. When I go visit at WKU I go to see him, of course, but I have other reasons and plenty of faces to see. We have gotten in the habit of good night calls, which are a favorite part of my day just getting to talk about whatever, vent, laugh, and just get to know him more. We have been together almost close to 5 months now, my longest relationship ever, and I couldn't be happier.
On to my next random thought! Colleges. My parents are going to definitely help me pay for college and Im trying to raise my ACT so I get more scholarship but I'm afraid I won't pull high enough. For places to consider giving you even half scholarship now they expect a 31 ACT and I'm sorry but for most people that's impossible and with the nations average ACT a 20 and college tuition costs on the rise it seems more and more impossible. So I have been considering public schools more and more. I am so afraid of being lost in the crowd and having a hard time meeting people at a huge university though, but I also want a school offering a variety of majors seeing as I have absolutely no clue as to what I want to do with my life. So here are the ones I'm thinking about and want to visit. I am only considering schools in IN, KY, OH, TN I don't want to be more than 6 hours away from home.

UK
UofL
Union University
Xavier University
DePauw University
Bellarmine University
WKU
Lambuth University
Lipscomb University
The College of Wooster
Kent State
Butler University
Georgetown College
Berea College

So that took awhile for me looking through all possible schools in those states but theres a good mix of public and private. Now I just have to figure out which is for me.
