But last night, when I came home from the college fair at my school, I was telling my mom about all the colleges I saw and what not. I told her how NYU and BU are my top two schools. She then told me how she’ll never, ever be able to afford them. I began crying about it.
Now I just don’t feel like trying. Ever since middle school, these two schools have been all that I thought about. I just don’t see the point anymore. It feels like I won’t be happy anywhere else and I’ve put so much effort and time into trying to get good grades and all, so I can get into them. I feel like all that I’ve done has been for nothing.There is A LOT of financial aid available. and even if you have to take out loans, isn’t it better to have to pay them back and go to a school you love and follow your dream, then to go to a school you hare and be miserable?
Don’t give up, for one. There is a lot of aid available. And if you have good grades, that will get you scholarships. And two, you can be happy anywhere you go, for the most part. I think BU and NYU are interesting first choices, because I don’t consider them similar at all. At the very least, NYU is a lot harder to get into than BU. Of course, BU is sort of my school’s rival, so everything I say about it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

- Me: Hello
- Jess: Sarah! I'm at a party with Willie Barber! What's up?
- Me: Oh, is that why you called? Cool.
- Willie: Sarah J! What's up? When are you going to come up to URI (University of Rhode Island)?
- Me: I'm in Boston, why would I come to URI?
- Willie: When are you going to come up to URI?
- Me: I'm in Boston, URI is in the middle of nowhere.
- Willie: I know you're in Boston you have to come and drink with us we'll get fucked up (or something to this affect)
- Me: Sure, sometime.
- Willie: Come on your birthday!
- Me: No, I have a crew race the day after.
- Willie: What? Come on your birthday!
- Me: No, the foot of the charles is the next day.
- Willie: What? No, you have to come on your birthday.
- Me: ...
- Jess: What's up?
- Me: Not much, I can't come on my birthday
- Jess: I can't hear you, text me, I miss you come visit!
- My cousin is from outside of Albany but goes to my state school and I went to high school with Willie. This is the second time she has called me from a party and I have spoken to Willie. Last time they seemed less drunk.
