Look, I'm scared.

I've recently just registered to take the SATs. Which is, the NCEA equivalent for America. Which are exams that Colleges or Universities use to determine wether you're bad-ass enough to be in their school or not.When I think about it, that is one step closer to college. I'm going to tell you right now, the idea of college is fucking terrifying. Especially when where I want to go isn't everything I want it to be and isn't located on the side of the country I would like to be in.

Here are my target Universities:

1) Stanford University
I know, I know it's a long shot but hey, the experts say that I should have 3 "reach" schools, 3 "match" schools, and 3 "safe" schools in mind. So you can consider my first three the "no way in hell are you going to get accepted Ina, you stupid unprepared fool" schools. =)
Stanford has the leading Department of Psychology in America. Yeah, suddenly I want to be a childrens Psychologist now. Which I think is ridiculous, because thats 8 years of school, but I cant help but WANT it. Ugh. Stanford has a 13% acceptance rate. *sound of Ina's head pounding on the desk*. It's in California, and I really don't want to live in California. I prefer to live somewhere with 4 seasons, which is pretty ironic seeing as I live in the freaking desert.

2) University of California- Berkeley
Another reach school. 23.9% acceptance rate. Number 9 on the top 10 Psychology colleges. Still in California.

3) University of Chicago
I really, really like this one.


I've decided not to go to college straight off the bat.

Yeah, thats right.
