First, let me just state that college is not for everyone. It simply isn't and that's okay there are plenty of other passions for you to chase after and be successful with.

But if you're trying to decide where to go, this one is for you!

Let me just say, I had zero idea where I wanted to go, all I knew was what I wanted to major in (and that I did not want to be close to home).

I applied to so many places (sorry Dad)- Auburn, UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, Mercer, Georgia Tech, UGA and I had no clue which one I wanted to attend. I felt the stress as everyone around me knew exactly where they wanted to go before they even applied anywhere while I was clueless.

I got into most of these schools, which did not make my decision easier, but I began to eliminate schools based on who had my major and who did not. This left me with Mercer, GT, and UGA. After touring Mercer I decided that it was not for me, which left me with the two rival schools of GA. I decided to choose UGA because it felt right to me, and I felt like I was supposed to go here for some reason. I committed about 3 days after I got my acceptance letter because I felt the happiest reading that UGA acceptance letter and that is how I knew.

It sounds silly and the process can be stressful, but when you know you know, and here I am with the best people in the world at one of the best universities around!
