Okay I lied about not writing again
till January. Sue me.
My daughter has begun her quest to
find the right college. I shouldn’t be
complaining at least she is looking a
little earlier than her brother so
when the time comes to apply she
should have a pretty good idea of
what she wants but….
She is mostly looking at colleges
out of state. If you know Sara you
cannot tell her anything if she has
her mind set one way. Our rule is that
you go to school at least within the state
of NY for the first year if not 2 then we
will discuss transferring else where.
It looks all exciting and romancy now
but really sucks when your 2000 miles
away and you realize nobody is there to
catch you if you fall.
She freaked out
and almost wanted to come home from
swim camp when her buddy backed out
on her at the last minute. It was the first
time she had ever been away from home
that far from home and for that long of
a time.
She says she cannot find a college that can
offer her the courses she wants to take for
the art degree she is looking for. I don’t
think its so much she can’t find any she
doesn’t want to. I located 2 SUNY schools
that have the basic courses that the one in
San Francisco has. And did I mention there
is NO WAY IN HELL I WOULD LET MY
18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER GO TO THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY FOR
HER FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE.
She only has a set amount of money in
her college fund and she needs to use it
wisely to get the most out of it as she can.
Loans are hard enough to pay off if you
are entering a profession with some stability.
I don’t even think she knows what direction
she is taking yet. And the fate of student loans
are number making it even more difficult.
So I guess I have a few more months to not
worry about it but will try and convince a
strong headed female that closer to home is
the better choice.
Stay safe, Stay warm, Feel loved.
