"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet" ~Aristotle

College applications. I've got a few done, but I still have a lot left to do. I applied early to Northeastern; should hear back by the 31st. I still really want to go there or one of my other dream schools, but now I think I'm realizing that just about anywhere I go I'm going to have great opportunities and a bright future. I just want to be somewhere where I can be myself & be happy. I know people say happiness is an attitude, not a state of being, but I'm making a promise to myself, to be nothing but myself, wholeheartedly and fully my honest self, in college.
