A Confident Commitment

Hey everyone! Today is May 1st, National College Decision Day. This means that all high schoolers in the United States who are planning on going to college must commit by today. I am happy to report that I have made the decision to attend Stanford University! I am so excited to stay in California and attend this amazing college. Recently, I went to Admit Weekend on campus to learn more about the school! I stayed in a freshman dorm, went to activities, and even sat in on a couple of classes. There was even a gong you could hit if you were going to commit! Attending this Admit Weekend was a great way to ensure my love for the school and help me in my commitment decision. Check out some pictures from my weekend at Stanford below!

Although I am already committed to a university, I still have two more months of high school left! Are you still in school? What do you like to do during the end of the school year? Let me know in the comments!

Choosing Colleges: Friends Edition

Hey everyone! While I am still in the process of deciding where to attend college next year, many of my friends have already committed to schools all around the United States. Some of my friends are staying close to home, while others are moving across the country. There are so many unique schools around the US it is hard to pick, but eventually everyone ends up somewhere perfect for them!

My friend Ally will be attending the University of Notre Dame next year. This school is in Indiana and has white winters with lots of snow and hot summers. It is also a big football school with great school spirit. My friend is extremely excited, but she has never lived anywhere outside of sunny California so it is going to be a big change for her. She had to go buy her first big coat and snow boots!

Another one of my friends, Reshma, is going to be attending Arizona State University. Arizona is perfect for someone wanting hot weather, because it gets even warmer than Southern California. Temperatures can get up to 43˚C in the summer.

My other friend, Amy, is going to Texas Christian University. Texas is a very popular destination for people from my school, and there are six girls going to TCU from my school this year! The weather is very similar to southern California, but the common attire and dialect is very different!

And where will I be going you might ask? Check back next week for more exciting updates about my journey choosing my college!

Remember, the national committing deadline is May 1st, so I have to decide soon!
