My Dream

I had a pretty good weekend. I left Thursday night for Auburn, and came back this morning before my History class. So I guess you could say extended weekend. My boyfriend goes to Auburn University and he lives in an apartment with his friend and other roommate. I like visiting him better in the apartment as opposed to the cold linolium-floored, cramped dorm room he was in last year. My dream is to go to Auburn University. It may not seem like a big dream to most people, but it is to me. I am not even an Auburn football fan; I am a Georgia Bulldogs fan, but Auburn University is just such a great and beautiful college with so much to offer and so many different majors to choose from. I graduated from a small school that did not prepare me for college, much less life. I am glad to be starting at AUM my first year, but I hope to transfer to main campus next year. I had applied last year, but I did not get accepted due to my ACT score of a 21. I made all As and Bs, and even graduated with Salutatorian, so that is the only reason I can think of as to why I did not get into Auburn. I was devastated because I had my whole life planned out. I was going to live in an apartment with my friends and go to class every day on a beautiful campus, and just have the whole "college-experience". Looking on it now, I think there was reason as to why I did not get accepted. I think something knew that I was not ready for the big college life yet, whether I wanted to believe it or not, and that is why I am at AUM right now. AUM is not a bad school or anything. All of my professors/instructors are great. I just want to go to a bigger school since I have been going to such a small school for the past 7 years of my life. I am ready for that challenge, and ready to prove that I can achieve my goals. I hope this time around when I apply, I make it!
