anyways. ive been realizing nowadays that life moves so fast. i remember moving onto jr high from elementary school...and wondering how do i open my locker..etc. then i couldn't wait for high school. worries about projects and high school drama..high school was pretty fun. then i couldnt wait to come to college...and here i am. Time goes by fast...i truly need to take the time to reflect and treasure everything brought in my life.
So what is going on at CSULB? Well, one of my friends...Deb..her dad is very sick and she went home this week to be with her father. keep her in your prayers ya'll, she's the sweetest girl ever and shes one of my closest friends here at the beach! For a lighter note, i found my official party/clubbin crew here! Ash, Lydia, Lindz, Tara, Simon, Marissa and Marissa, Bridget, and Deb. We DEFINITELY know how to have fun. we went to club DV8 this past weekend...and let's just say it rocks to be 18. i loved dancin with my grls and givin fake numbers out to some of the guys lol. there was also these 2 gay guys freak dancing..that was pretty interesting.
you know what gets on my nerves? when people underestimate CAL STATE people....compared to UC people. Here's my view on it. I was one of those people in high school, that NEVER thought i'd be going to a CAL STATE. it was my absolute last choice. I sent my apps in, and sure enough cal state long beach was the first to send me my acceptance letter. UCLA was my dream school, and a couple days after LB's letter came..came my big fat rejection from UCLA. let's just say i cried for days. it was really important for me to go to ucla...and i did so much stuff in high school just to go there. Then came the acceptance letter from UC Santa Cruz..and UCI, and UCSD. Now of course i figured..ill go to one of those 3. UC santa cruz was OUT of the question..its wayy too far. SO. UCI. I visited the campus and i loved it! BUT. i got the feeling "this isn't it." Something was missing and it just wasnt what i wanted. Then UCSD. i once again, LOVED the campus and loved everything that had to do with the campus. BUT. they didnt give me enough financial aid and i didnt want to be spending my whole life paying off loans. BUT on the other hand, i didnt want to go to CSULB. Then my financial aid packet came for CSULB and they were practically giving me a full ride. I grabbed it and figured, i'll visit the campus for final decisions. I came to visit and WOW. it was just mindblowing how God showed me "even if this isnt your choice..this is where u belong." So i apply for housing and i accept CSULB's offer. YET, over the summer i regretted it because when i would tell ppl where i was going they'd grimace and tell me they didn't understand why i didnt go to a UC. WELL let me tell u something people. there's definitely nothing wrong with a UC..but im at the BEACH and nothing else can make me happier. I love my decision. Don't underestimate people here at CSULB to be dumber than UC people. There's people that rejected Harvard, Yale, UC's just to be here. Take my suitemate Katherine for example. She's an honor student here and she had a 4.1 gpa all throughout high school and passed ALL ,yes ALL her AP tests. and as a side note..UC riverside and UCI have higher admission rates than CSULB..which means it's harder to get into CSULB than those 2 UC's. So PLEASE do not underestimate if u guys dont know anything. OH one more thing. CSULB is one of the top 3 public universities with the best professors. so eff off if u dont know.
on an ending note, i LOVE ya'll.
