My town is known for it’s outstanding private school, Huntington University. A few weeks ago, even though I’m enrolled in a community college, I sent in an application for Huntington. However, I did not turn in my transcript. You see, I’m afraid of a little thing called “rejection.” It wasn’t until last week when my good friend/pastor (though he hates being called that, I mean pastor not friend) gently threatened me into applying. I have a GPA of 3.5 and scored 1700 on the SATS but was still terrified. The day after I turned in my transcript a letter came in the mail. The letter was really thin and as the story goes, thin letters mean REJECTION. When the first line didn’t say “you’re accepted” I felt like crying. But further into the letter I found out I was in fact ACCEPTED.
Even though this school is $25,000 more than the community college I was enrolled in I have decided to go. If I’m going to become in debt for something I think my education is worth it. Besides, in my opinion it’s better to spend thousands of dollars on a great school and be able to easily get a job then barely spend any money on a school and have trouble finding one. As an added bonus I have so many good friends going there, it’s part of my community, and Matt is going there. HU also provides Married Housing, which is an apartment instead of a tiny dorm room. It’s just as much as an off campus apartment but this one can be paid with grants, scholarships and student loans. Win.
Probably the best thing about this school is that my counselor LITERALLY looks EXACTLY like Bill Hader. That’s a picture of my counse
lor, not Bill Hader….just kidding it’s Bill Hader. And he’s really nice. Everyone at HU is nice, all the people at the community college were rude and very unhelpful. Yeah, I’m happy about my decision.
Now the only thing left to decide is whether I want major in Social Work or Visual Arts Education (I would be an elementary art teacher).
Other than that nothing is really new in my life. Well except that we (Matt and I) met with Heath and we all decided it was best to wait a little bit to get married. He wants to do some pre-marital counseling with us. I’m okay with it I guess. He wants us to wait until September but for married housing you have to be married before (frickin’ obviously lol) and school starts in August. I’m pretty sure Heath will compromise by two and a half weeks. Especially since married housing was HIS idea.
