I FINALLY decided on where I'm going, and that's Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I realized the only reason why I was considering Millersville was because it's only an hour away and I could take my car, and other than that, Millersville doesn't really offer a whole lot. Like it doesn't have graduate housing, and it doesn't offer a wide variety of classes. I'm a bit wary about the fact that it's 5 hours away from home, and I likely can't bring my car as my 1999 beater couldn't handle a 300 mile drive, but I think that might be a good thing. Funny how things work out. IUP was my second-choice, MU was first. But when I sat down with the advisor at MU, I realized that the program didn't really offer much to me. My mom told me, "I just want you to be happy, and go where ever you want to go", and I realized that I want to go to IUP. It's just going to be a real different kind of experience, but I'm excited. I'm sorta taking a big leap of faith, and I realize I could fall flat on my face, but hey- if I hate it there, I can always transfer, plus it's only two years anyways.

And Indiana is the hometown of Jimmy Stewart, so...it's like I'm going to be around the real Bedford Falls. I can't wait for the first snowfall...I'd be running around, yelling "Merry Christmas, Bedford Falls!"
