Someone pinch me!
Guess who’s been getting school exceptance letters in the mail every day this week and two today? It’s adorable to see my dad’s smile when I get home from classes. He handed me two more large envolpes this afternoon and we already knew they were scholarships. “Looks like you’re doing it kid,” he said as I checked the return addresses and freaked out. Getting the mail might be the highlight of his day now. I’m literally in shock. I was hoping to be let into these schools but I never expected full rides to my top picks. Ahhhhh!! I have the freedom to pick whatever school I want and I don’t have to ask for any help from dad.
I’m working harder than I ever have!! It feels like living, I go to bed exhausted around 9 but I wake up excited to start another day. All of the all-nighters and time spent are truly paying off. God is so good to me! Dance coaches I’ve been studying for the past five years are begging me to come dance for them! They’re already offering coaching positions four years out. What is my life?
Another update. I have a boyfriend, which I never pictured myself saying before. WoAh. I’ll admit, it’s really hard to focus in classes which is… strange, since that’s all I’ve been able to focus on since middle-school. Don’t laugh at me, if any of you have boyfriends you understand. If you don’t, why are you laughing? haha jk I’m not trying to be mean.
There are a ton of coaches from NE and MN schools watching the boys play basketball today- I’ve already received letters from those schools so the pressure isn’t so intense for me tonight. Some of my guy friends needed some pep talks though. 😉 It’s scholarship season/college shopping for all of us. I have a lot of rich un-saved friends so they pick whatever schools they want, if they can get in of course. Then there’s me, waiting on God to tell me because my parents seem to be clueless. Dad wants something impressive to tell his colleagues and mom wants me close to home. So I’m trusting the Lord to help me avoid screwing up my future. 😅
I’m getting a feeling that He doesn’t even have any school in mind for me, which breaks my heart; school and dance are the things I love the most in this life. But His will be done, I know I’ll be happier with His plans.
I have a boyfriend that I love now. Far away colleges used to be a settled deal in my mind but his new presence in my life has me questioning. Freshman me would have killed me for saying that. No more dreams of Brown or Juilliard unless I can drag him along with me. I just love the idea of an art school and learning whatever I want.
Thanks for reading another post.
Sweet dreams. 💕Keep working hard and eventually you’ll get there.
