Movin’ on up

Posted on 08.28.05 2:06PM in UF, college

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been getting all of my ducks of higher education in a row: my mascot scholarship from the Florida Marlins and the Florida State Baseball Association, my application to the University of Florida, my early decision contract to UF, my application for on-campus housing, and my letters of recommendation.

And I’ve decided that even though I really enjoy the rigidity and simplicity of the high school routine, I am really, really looking forward to college.

    You mentioned me & your bro go to school together . . . I have no way of knowing who he is from your comment, but tell him to find me, say hello, shoot me an email, whatever.

    And, yes, you are right. College is better than high school. The best advice I can give (although it applies to anything, really) is don’t let your comfort zone get in the way of doing huge things. Ignore the patterns of your classmates, and ask yourself every day what you want to get out of your first four years on your own. When you think about it, it’s probably not funnel parties and threesomes with girls carrying around brand-new spare tires, though there’s nothing wrong with that, too.
