The inevitable “I’m so freaked out about college” entry

I’m an eensie bit scared about this college application thing. Like most things that seem far off, it feels like you have ages to get everything done. Ages until you find yourself one month before all applications are due and with only two applications filled out! That’s NOT counting transcripts! I am so freaked out right now. I have like…. three more schools that I’m applying to.

I applied to FIT yesterday. At first, I didn’t want to apply to FIT because it seemed too mainstream. Last night, though, I decided that since it’s the art school with the best web design, they might just know what they’re doing. And Calvin Klein went there. And I have a lot of Calvin Klein pants. So that’s pretty cool. Plus, you know, I’m sure their photography program isn’t all that bad, either.

Now the only schools I have left to apply to are Brooklyn College, Pratt, and School of Visual Arts. And this is why I’m scared. I printed out the transcript form for FIT last night and I brought it to my guidance counselor this morning. She didn’t say it, but she had this look on her face that said, “OH MY GOD. YOU ARE GETTING THIS IN SO LATE. DIDN’T YOU KNOW THAT YOUR APPLICATIONS HAD TO BE DONE LIKE A YEAR AGO?? YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. YOU ARE GOING TO DIIIIIEEEE!!!!” …. Or I might just be paranoid.

Still. I really need to get all my applications in. AND visit colleges. I went to Pratt’s National Portfolio Day in New York about a week ago. But that was a waste. I only made it to Pratt since every other school had like seven hundred million people in its line. I really should have just scheduled private portfolio reviews. Like I’m going to have to do now. And I’ll have to do that by like tomorrow. (FREAKED OUT.)

    Yeah, you really should try to get that stuff in early. Like, don’t worry about it too much, though, because I’m sure you’re not entirely screwed.

    Your website also looks weird on a Dell display. Everything is so darn SHARP that the text ends up looking blocky and stuff. Odd.

    College applciations already? :O I have about six months until all that, unless I don’t wish to wait for my exam results and use the trial results instead. And I don’t want to do that. I’d like a nice break, thankyouverymuch.

    Anyway, stop freaking out. A month sounds like a long time to me. Or maybe the applications here work differently. Like, for our matriculation (pre-university centre, if you wish to take that) applications, we had a week to fill everything in and make choices about locations, etc. etc. Just a week.

    If you’re going to any interviews, all the best! =D
