This morning, I was contacted by Columbia University about applying there. I hadn’t considered it before now. Do I actually have a chance? I wish. The school seems pretty appealing to me and I have been thinking about NYC a lot lately. I really like that they have a school specifically for non-traditional students: the School of General Studies, which allows the option of attending full or part-time. But even if I was accepted, it is extremely expensive.
Anyway, I’ve been thinking about going to a school out of state. Something Ivy League is unlikely to happen, but I want to get out of here and get a fresh start on things. My plan was to stay here in Baltimore until I finish school. But I really don’t know if I can take it here much longer. I don’t hate it here but I am restless and bored. I feel like I have done most of what I was meant to do here and it’s about time to move on to the next part of my life.
