AH!

After spending the afternoon talking about universities and scholarships the task of chosing and applying to university seems like an ever bigger task than I thought. I thought it would be quite straight forward; I would pick the university I liked and with the right grades get accepted. Unfortunatly not, there's admission averages and forms and applications that all come into consideration before getting guaranteed a spot into a university. The first step is chosing where you want to go and that includes your willingness to move away from home. Is it worth it? Sure there is the guaranteed feeling of being free and the adrenaline rushes from parties and amazing experiences. On the contrary, stressing out during exam week without having your mom pamper you so everyting is at ease won't necessarily come with the benifits of living alone, and especially not something you would expect from a room mate. Let's say I decide to move to Vancouver anyways, how will I afford it? There is always Mom and Dad to pay for school but after realising what dorms are like I will need a car to get my self from my off campus house and the university. I now have to buy a car and pay for insurance and gas, a lovely sum of money added to my debt. So i once again ask my self why move far away? According to many it's because I need to get out of my little town and experience the real world. Speaking of the real world what is the real world really like? They all say it as if their are big scary monsters that I need to watch out for. With that said I think I will be spending more time slaying monsters than studying considering the paranoia i will go through.
