Explore Your surroundings!

This is a continued, more detailed blog post from my previous one Summer Living. I think on those boring summer days when you don't know what to do, but you want to do something or go somewhere you might want to do some research and find out what's available in your area!

Recently I've been going around my own and going to places that are really cool. In the beginning of the month I met up with a friend at a café downtown. It was my first time there but it was really cool atmosphere, very laid back.

Two Saturdays ago I went to a cool buffet, it's family owned with a neat gift shop & bakery. We grubbed on lunch like there was no tomorrow! They had a wide variety of food, from Mexican to Southern not to mention the large dessert section.

This past weekend I went with a friend and my sister to this amazing place with a whole bunch of trampolines. You might have one near you, just check out skyzone.com. This wonderful pace filled with trampolines has dodge ball and a foam pit that you can jump into!

Next time you're bored, explore your town or city and see what you can find!

Part Five: Pursuit of Scholarships

Hello Readers! It is that time again where I update you on college and how the overall process is going. So far I have submitted 3 applications to universities and colleges. All of the ones i have submitted so far are in-state, I am planning on applying to few more in and out of state just to have a variety of viable options. As I have come to narrow down the list of colleges and universities I want to apply to, all things considered, it is not by any means an easy decision. There are thousands of universities within the United States. An overwhelming thing to think about when you are thinking  about continuing your education beyond high school and trying to find your perfect fit. Now I would like to ask for your help. I have found a scholarship that is willing to award $10,000 scholarship to a high school senior with a well written essay. Unfortunately there is a catch, each applicant must get a significant amount of recommendations to be one of the 500 people who's essays are...

Part Six: College Acceptances & Rejections

Image
So as of now I have been accepted. And rejected from colleges and universities. I applied to 8 schools; Emerson College, Syracuse University, Ithaca College, Hofstra University, Kutztown University, Shippensburg University, Temple University and Lebanon Valley College. I got accepted to all except for Syracuse University. Sadly I was rejected but I see it as a sign that I wasn't supposed to go there. But I also knew when applying that it was a reach school. A reach school meaning that I wasn't sure that I would get into it but there was still a chance. As I am reviewing my acceptances I am so proud of myself. I am trying not sound self absorbed but I always knew college was the end game and its always been one of my goals. During this college process, I have been pretty much on my own. I went to my school counselor here and there for simple questions but I applied on my own and did all the research on my own. And I got accepted (and rejected) all on my own, with the su...

Fear of Failure

I am a freshly graduated high school student. I am 18 years old and I am scared. In a matter of months, I will be moving 200 miles away for college. I will be in a new environment with new people in a new town. Now, I am not scared because I'm moving and I'm not scared of meeting new people, I'm scared of failing. It is the fear of failing that I'm scared of. I've always dreamed of becoming successful and having money to be able to provide for my family. Now that I'm at this stage in life, I find myself overthinking every little detail about my future and every outcome of every scenario is horrible. I find myself second guessing my career path and if I'm truly going to suceed. I am planning on studying journalism. Writing is something I've always enjoyed doing. In elementary school I started a newsletter (5th grade). And I carried on this desire into middle school  (7th grade) where there would be biweekly distribution of a newsletter to all of...
