Some things about this college process are definite: I can see myself going down the path and the outcome.
I can see the major I'll select, the money I'll receive, where I'll live each of the years, who I'll live with, the sorority I'll rush, activities I'll pursue, experience I'll have, job I'll get, etcc. It's just all so there, so secure. So safe.
But then again, some things I just don't know.
There are so many things up in the air with other colleges I'm applying to.
What major do you select if you're the kinda person who thinks that almost all the majors sound pretty damn rockin?
Who will I know at the college? Live with? Do in my spare time?
What do I do to get money to go to these colleges?
How will my life be before and during this college experience?
How will I eat? Where will I work? Who's gonna help me!?!?!?!
So many questions, yet also, so many possibilities.
The future.
It holds endless possibility, infinite chances at self-discovery and success.
With so much potential, why would you just stick to what's safe?
So that's why I'm going out on a limb.
I'm creeping to the edge until I'm at the part that trembles with every minuscule shifting of weight, creeping further still until I'm hand over hand, monkey bar style, until I'm to the tip of the branch, the jumping point, and I've got 5 different pools to choose from, 5 different places to make a ripple and to let the ripple return to me. I'll be changed and they'll be changed. All I've gotta do is let go of the branch.
Which pool will I choose?
OH THE SUSPENSE.
