STUPID COLLEGES!

So with everything I've been thinking about, I've been checking out colleges.

That should probably be the last of my worries, but no, I've put it to my "let's do this now instead of my project for Intro!" list.

So it had always been Notre Dame...with the exception of any bowling school that might want me like Valpo or Marian University.

Well I was exploring their websites for their bowling programs when my mom calls me downstairs to watch the Pro Bowlers with her. Before the commercial, they said something about Arizona State and female high school bowlers.

When they came back, they said that one of the pros was the men's assistant bowling coach, and would be the women's if they could recruit 2 more girls. They finished with something about "girls--if you're looking into bowling collegiately, check out Arizona State."

I questioned my mom and said "you really are gonna send me to Arizona?"
"No."
"Exactly. Thanks for wasting my time. Well now I have to check out Arizona! You know...just to see their journalism stuff."

I decided to be stupid, and I just checked out the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State.
It looks amazing, of course.
And they have free bowling in their student center, The First Amendment Center.

Of course they do.

But now I'm freaking out about scholarships. Like, majorly.
I mean, I will need academic scholarships INTENSELY if nobody wants me for bowling.
And what people don't understand is that for a bowling scholarship, people have to notice you--in other words, YOUR COACH HAS TO ACTUALLY PLAY YOU and they will see for themselves. But with academics, you have to seek attention via a piece of paper...along with 85,000 other kids. So chances of me getting a much-needed scholarship aren't as happy.
Thank you, Illinois, for not getting your education funds settled and taking from hard-working teachers paychecks.

Well, there was my hourly rant about school.

Loving the thought of Arizona State,
