Northland College Update!

It's official, I was accepted!

I got a letter last week from the college congratulating me on my acceptance. I also received a $6,000 scholarship for my academic excellence in the Social Sciences area. I'm really excited. My mom already went out and bought be some "college wear."

Now that I know where I'm going, I'm not as sad about graduating. I was for awhile, but I'm quite excited now. Then there's the money aspect of college...I tend to forget about that burden.

$6,000 down, $18,000 more to go. I'm planning on applying for two scholarships from the school itself, FAFSA, local scholarships, and possibly a student loan or two (I'm trying to avoid that as much as possible). I'll also get a job, and am hoping to do a work study that the campus offers.

My decided major was Broad Field Social Studies Education, and I'm pretty content with the decision. It may change once I get into college, but I know that I for sure want to do something in the Social Science field. It's what I love, and I might as well do what I love because I'm going to be doing it forever.

Life's just moving along. It really does fly by.
