Decisions, Decisions...

I've sat staring at this computer screen for the past 20 minutes trying to think of something to blog about, but all I've been able to think about today was my final campus visit to Western that I was on and what college I'm going to go to next year. I know a lot of people who just stepped foot on a college campus and knew it was where they wanted to call "home" for the next four years. When applying, I narrowed my schools down to three options: University of Louisville, University of Kentucky, and Western Kentucky University. My first visit was UK with my best friend, and I really liked it there. I had never really been around the actual campus, and I was very impressed with the tour and some of the features UK has on its campus. I could see myself going to school at UK. My second visit was to Louisville and I knew instantly that wasn't the school for me. It wasn't the right atmosphere and nothing felt right about it. When I came home, I took it off my list. Today, I wasn't in English because I was on my final college visit to Western Kentucky. I really liked it there too. It was a beautiful campus and I could see myself going there as well. When we got in the car to leave, I was so frustrated with myself. I thought deciding on a college was like deciding a wedding dress: you put it on and you just knew it was the one for you. I don't feel like I'm any closer to making a decision on where I'm going to college now that I've visited the places then I was before. How do kids my age already just know where they are going? It's such a big decision that I don't want to rush into making. What I'm probably going to end up doing is making a "Pros Vs. Cons" sheet at my house to compare everything I liked and didn't like. I think what it comes down to for me (and many students looking at going to UK) is whether or not I want to risk going somewhere not 5 minutes from my house. I'm nervous I'll choose Western and be miserable two and a half hours away from home! All I know is, someone really needs to help me because I have no idea what to do! Wah :(
