Random post, and I know I posted earlier today, but I have to get this one off my chest.
I'm having a hard time choosing where to go to college next. I obviously have to worry about how to pay for tuition and all that, but money will never keep me from earning my degree.
I'm attending Snow College right now and as much as I've loved learning here, I can't live there anymore. It's not that I hated my roommates (which I didn't), or that it smelled (pretty badly), or that there was nothing to do, or that I didn't have a car, friends, family; it just isn't for me anymore. I feel like after this semester, my heart is telling me I need to attend somewhere different next fall.
So here are my options and explanations. Maybe you could give me some advice or something!? I'd appreciate it!
Here we have, Salt Lake Community College. I live near the Jordan Campus and it's seriously a 5-10 minute drive from my house. I loved attending Institute there over this past summer, and the campus didn't seem too big. It'd be easy, cheap and I'd be able to live at home.
Next we have Utah State University. Now, this I have to say, would be my last choice. I have no idea why. But ever since I started to really get involved in college and scholarship stuff in high school, I just felt that Utah State wasn't for me. But maybe it is and I just don't want to accept it? I don't know. I went here for EFY 2010 and I stayed in the towers. It was a terrible living space, but easy to get to and they had elevators. I didn't get to see much of other living spaces. Tuition is a lot more expensive there. It's a big campus, and I'd know some people, but still wouldn't have a car. What'd you think!?
Last, but never least, we have Brigham Young University-Idaho :) This university is my dream college. I seriously have never wanted to go to a college so badly like I have with this one. I attended EFY in 2009 here and I loved every minute of it. It was beautiful, green, sunny, and just a place where the Lord's Spirit was, at all times. The Rexburg Temple was just minutes away. It was a pretty big campus, but something I know I could get used to. The dorms I stayed in (at least, I think they were dorms) while I was attending EFY, weren't too bad either. I mean, I hated that we only had two sinks, one shower and one toilet to six girls, without a kitchen but I managed the whole week. I seriously just imagine myself going to college there someday.
Right before Brady left I would tell myself, "Just three more semesters at Snow and he'll be back. But he doesn't want to go to BYU-I when he gets home, and I do... I don't want to miss out on the opportunity to go there, but I don't want to put off being with him forever any longer when he gets back either." I can honestly say those have been my thoughts since I started dating him. Brady has been offered a scholarship to Southern Virginia University, so that's a possibility for him and for some reason, I have no problem dropping everything in Utah to go be with him while he goes to school. I know I'm looking in the future WAY too far than I prolly should, but I feel I need to prepare.
Which brings up my next subject. Prayer. My dearest friend Megan, posted on her blog about prayer (Click here to read it). It was amazing and it's something I look at a lot. I even ordered myself a copy of the book she writes about because I know it'll help me! I guess my last resort for this situation is to council with my Heavenly Father. I still have to finish my second semester at Snow College before I make any final decisions, but I know he'll help me, and he'll remind me of the true intents of my heart, and what he thinks is best for my future.
Should I stay at Snow College one more year? Or should I transfer to Salt Lake Community College, Utah State University, or Brigham Young University-Idaho?
I definitely can't decided right now.
