Decisions Decisions Decisions

During high school, most students don’t think that after senior year it’s the real deal; we have to start making our own choices for ourselves and become responsible.  High school, school in general flies by before we can even realize, it’s hard to realize that I’m almost half way done with my senior year. When I first started thinking about college, I went back and forth way too much. I thought that going to GCC for two years and then transferring to a four year school was a great idea. Then, came the idea to go out of state for College and get away from the “same old’ same old’.  I wanted to go to ASU (Arizona State University), I went there over the summer and went all over campus and I knew that I couldn’t regret making my decision to go to this school. I wasn’t thinking about the entire situation though, I was thinking mainly of myself; not thinking about other people that it could/would effect. Each day I brought it up more and more to my parents and finally, one day they told me how upset they were, that they’d do anything in order for me to stay in state for school. I realize that college is mainly going to affect me in the long run, but some things aren’t worth it. I looked at the entire situation and came to the conclusion that whether I stay in Buffalo or decide to go out of state, I’m still going to college and I will still end up getting a great education in order to have a great future.  Plus, part of me knows that I wouldn’t be able to leave my family for four years.  In conclusion, I’ve been debating between Buffalo State College and Medaille College. The main thing that is stopping me is that I’m not 100% sure on what’d I’d like to do for a career; I’d much rather save a ton of money and go to GCC to figure out what it is that I want to do, and in the end I’d be ending with a better education!
