OH AND THERE'S MORE RANTING WHERE THAT CAME FROM!

Oh yeah and Sabrina I feel you... our counselors are CRAZY PEOPLE!! Especially mine... she like stalks me to make me talk college to her and I really just don't want to. And she was telling my friends where to apply and stuff and I was just thinking the whole time hearing these stories like, "If she ever tells me which schools to apply to or which schools she thinks are my 'reach' schools, I will throw a fit." I'll apply where I want, dammit! =) No but for real, I feel exactly the same with all this pressure from random people and all these people telling me things I still have to do or add on to applications or blah blah blah and it really gets to me sometimes. I had like a breakdown one day and Mr. Patton, bless that man, talked to me about college for like half an hour and made me feel a little less freaked out about it but I'm still like... I don't even know. I have an idea what I want to do like... with my life... but the thing is, it's science related... and my science grades the past couple years have not been quite as fantastic as you would expect someone who wants to become a pediatrician or a children's psychiatrist to be!! So I'm freaking out about that, too! I pose the question... why do people like making 18 year olds feel like their world is going to crumble down on them during this "application" period?! RAHH!!!!
