Ahh, I sometimes feel like I associate very much with Rachel Berry from Glee.

I have been meaning to write on this for a while now.

To start, Glee is back on again. (Yay Glee!) I love it so much because it has music, and music is basically emotions put into words. As cliche and repetitive as this sounds, music just always seems to say it right. If you watch Glee, you know that Rachel Berry is the OCD, extremely talented, self-absorbed, annoying, but completely amazing protagonist, also, the head female of the New Directions. I can't say that I'm extremely talented (or anywhere near it), but I do think of myself as OCD, annoying, and self-absorbed at times. Like Rachel, I tend to say my feelings the wrong way, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Last night on Glee, Rachel sang a song to Finn, the somewhat stupid but great football star in New Directions, and the whole class explaining her feelings about Finn being a dumb boy. She also tells him off in the HALLWAY and is a total diva about it. Sounds like something I would do, doesn't it? Finn does realize that Rachel deeply cares about him and knows him better than he does, but after breaking up with his girlfriend who was impregnated by his best friend, he needs to figure out just exactly who he is too. And I guess what I've learned is that you just gotta let things fall into place. When people are lame and somewhat frustrating, you gotta have faith in them and if they are worth your trouble, they will come back. And as for all the horomone-licious girls out there who over analyze everything that has to do with boys, you just gotta let it go. Besides, high school relationships don't really last in the long run. You'll find someone just perfect for you eventually.

Ahh, and now to my trip to Micihigan Tech!
It was FABULOUS! It wasn't Panama City or anything, but I wouldn't trade it for anything (well, maybe London). Before I visited, I was convinced that I wanted to go there because I knew people that went there and it sounded good. Why I was SO excited about visiting was because I could finally decide for myself if it was the right choice for me. I was mostly nervous that I would be disappointed... after all, who wouldn't hate driving 20 hours to visit a frozen wasteland for nothing? BUT MTU completely blew it out of the water for me, and I don't want to look at any more colleges. Michigan Tech is perfect for me in so many ways and I cannot wait until the next time I can go back up there.
The campus is small, but intimate. You can walk form one end to the other in about 10 minutes. The student populations is 7,000, but it allows you to get to know people better. The setting is rustic and either cold or hot, but it provides lots of outdoor activities no matter what season. It's far away, but not too long to keep you away from home for 3 months. (And thank God for Skype). The boy/girl ratio is 3:1... what the heck, that's just fabulous. I really wanted a school that wasn't a slacker school. I like being surrounded by people who share the same aspirations as me. Plus, it's a ton of fun to make nerd jokes!

All in all, MTU was great and I wish I could've stayed longer. I applied for a scholarship program up there this summer, so I really hope I get in. It's too bad that I still have another year till I can go there officially, but it's a relief that I have found a college that fits me so early. :)
