College Visits

Being 18 and a senior in highschool is super tough and intimidating but have no fear people because we will get through all of the life changing and scary decisions we have to make, I hope...

This weekend I went to an ORU college weekend and it was amazing. 

I was super scared at first because I've never driven 2 hours away from home by myself but I did it. 

I was scared I wouldn't make friends, but I did. 

I was scared that my host wouldn't like me but she did like me and her room mate was awesome (love you guys!). 

I was scared that the 'team' I was on wouldn't like me and I would be left out but that didn't happen and I became friends with everyone. 

You never know what you are going into but I'm so glad I didn't because if someone told me how great this weekend was going to turn out I would have said they were crazy because none of that cool stuff would happen to me all at once, but it did because God knows what we need and when we need it and I really needed this weekend to go well and it did. 

I didn't know where I was going to go to college but now I know I want to go to ORU. I loved the people and the classes and the professors and the campus. I love how Christ centered and focus it is, the chapel (church)  yesterday was amazing and so powerful and the worship here can't even be put into words how fantastic it is. When I worship I normally have my hands in the air and I'm bouncing on my feet because that's how I do it and normally I don't feel comfortable doing that because no one else really does that but at ORU I really felt I could be myself and just worship and praise how I do and not be judge because almost everyone is doing it like that too. It is so powerful. 

I still don't know my major but I do know that ORU is probably where I'm going to get it. So at least there is one scary, life changing decision out of the way. 

Listed below are some pictures from the weekend during the scavenger hunt where we had to pose a certain way and our team shot at the lip scynce competition.

Welcome to college life, watch your step! 

The mystery woman gave me a mug!! 

My team all serous

We won tug o war!

It has been a blast this weekend and I'm sad to go home tomorrow but I'm pretty sure I'm going to come back. ^_^

ORU

I am going to ORU and I'm so very excited I just can't stand it!!

College. 18. Yikes.

So this all just kinda hit me while trying to go to sleep. 

I'm going to be 18 Thursday, I'll be a leagal adult and be in charge of adult things and have super insane responsibility.  Am I even ready for that? 

I also I'm going to college at some point. I don't know where yet but I DID GET INTO ORU WHICH IS SUPER EXCITING! I also got an academic scholarship for ORU so that's insanely amazing. 

I'm either going to ORU or if I hopefully get in to North Eastern I might got there. 

It's narrowed down to those two colleges, I'm just waiting to hear back. I don't really want to apply for anymore colleges even though mom wants me too. I got into one of my top three, if I get into North Eastern and Tulsa (my other top ones) then it's just a matter of choosing. Since I'm already in one of the three I don't see the point of applying for more. Although I kinda want to apply to Harvard just to see if I get in even though I have no desire to go what so ever ^_^ . 

I don't know guys, am i even ready for college? I have to get a tutor to get me past Physics and Advanced Computers: Python  Programing so I'm very doubtful I am ready but everyone tells me I am. I also keep hearing "you won't have your parents in college so don't rely on them at all this year" and then I started to panic because I'm super close to both of my parents so we do a lot together, can I even survive without them??? I can't even braid my own hair! What am I going to do??? 

I'll tell you what I'm going to do, try to sleep, all this worrying is not good for my mental health and the stress isn't good for my face (vain I know but senior pictures are next week and I don't want bags under my eyes and mount pimple on my face). So goodnight lovelies I will write again soon.
