Roller Coaster

There’s something I’ve learned in high school, and that’s that even though there are ups, and there are downs, it will all eventually lead back to middle ground, where everything is normal and safe, and you can catch your breath.  Sometimes the journey gets so rough, you just have to remember to breath.  And when life gives you those moments where it’s quiet and peaceful, you have take those moments to be grateful to be living, and to be, simply, you.
Ok, so the last week for me was kinda rough, but I’ve been doing better.  As far as college applications, here’s how it’s going… I’ve applied for three colleges now.  I’ve been accepted to one of them so far, and I’m still waiting for the other two.  I’ve also now applied to a couple of scholarships, because let’s face it, college is EXPENSIVE.  So a little while ago, there I was, writing this essay for a scholarship application, when my hand slipped up and before I even realized what happened, a message pops up on my screen and says “Your essay has been submitted” and I’m like WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?! I WASN’T DONE! This is terrible. What if they get it and they’re like, oh this essay is really good and then, wait, what happened, it just stopped. Well, we’re definitely not going to give a scholarship to this screw-up.  WHAT AM I GONNA DO?! Well, I just ended up re-doing it and hoping that they get that one instead.  Here’s crossing my fingers!
