Apparently, I value things like "Independance, Variety, Prestige, Challenge, and Easy Commute" o.o interesting....
Yeah, I'm looking through my college's Career Service sort of thingy. Gotta get a job after I graduate (at the end of this semester). I've given up completely on finding another college. Things are just too damn expensive right now. Maybe after I get some money, I'll reenter college, but nowadays, I can't leave the state for college, because out-of-state prices are, like, four times the in-state price (one of the worse ones I've seen in my search today is in Massachusetts, where the in-state tuition is 910 dollars, while the out-of-state tuition is over 7,000 >.<; ). But staying in college in New Jersey's worse. They, of all states, had to have colleges where the in-state and out-of-state prices are exactly the same: hella expensive.
But. Before I make any REALLY hasty decisions, it's probably best if I talk to my counselor beforehand. See what she thinks about certain options and whatnot. AND, I'd probably have to have a LOOOONG talk with my parents. After all, they're the ones that allowed me to apply to various places, get accepted, even take me to campus visits so I could meet professors and other faculty, only to say that I couldn't go due to expences.
Le sigh >.<; Why the hell is college NOT FREE!? Don't they WANT people to learn? Don't they WANT to have a future with better educated people? Don't the WANT to stop being laughed at by other countries who have grade school students smarter than OUR college students? >.<;
Hm. If I go to Kean University, the tuition's rather cheap (though there are, of course, other costs), I could be a Philosophy major o.O; Or maybe a Sociology major... Of course, a lot of people (probably my mom...) will say that's sabotaging myself 9.9;
Oh, I yearn for the days when you could just be a scholar for the rest of your life... People'd look up to you, and respect you, and you'd get to keep learning. Maybe it's just because I've been in a school environment since I was about six months old, but I really prefer to be in a school setting. Not to say that I want to interact with people all that much. I just like... I dunno... learning for the sake of it.
Feh. Well, it doesn't matter. Watch all my frail hopes shatter ^^; Cause, you know, college has been a real let down. Will I really be doomed to only have a two-year, community college fed higher education? Oh, I hope not, but it's really seeming that way ._.;
