Assignment 7 - Lia Jacobs - In the Grand Scheme of Things

I'll just say it, I am really looking forward to college. Honestly, I think I'm just ready for high school to end. I don't really have a 'dream college' picked out like everybody seems to have these days. I think I could be happy at a lot of places, all I really want is a school that has a good program in whatever I decide to study. I don't have my major decided either. One thing I do know is I don't want to go to a 'prestigious' school. No ivies, no top twenties. Schools like that confuse me, sure they might be a tad better with respect to academics, but the price tag seems excessive. I guess maybe they'll help you build connections, but again, probably not worth the price tag. I'd rather go to one of the higher-ranked public schools. At the end of the day, a degree is a degree and where you got it from won't be life-altering. I think college is a lot more about the experience you have, that's what can be lifechanging. That's what I'm really looking forward to, gaining experience and starting a new phase of my life. I'd value making memories over a pricey degree any day.
