Senior Year; COLLEGE COLLEGE COLLEGE!

This is the first post in a while that I just took to the computer and didn’t think out all the way before posting. This is the first post in a while that I haven’t had anything negative to say about my college search. This is the first post that I can happily say I will be attending a college in the fall.
THIS IS THE POST WHERE I ANNOUNCE I AM GOING TO JOHN CARROLL UNIVERSITY !
It’s been a very looooooong and stressful, what like, eight months? And originally John Carroll was not on my radar at all. I spent the most of last year believing I would be going to Miami University. My top three schools were Miami, The University of Dayton, and The University of Toledo. When Mrs. Fulop told us that Toledo took anyone because they were an open admissions school, I changed that to Ohio State.
I’ve stressed over my applications. I’ve stressed over my acceptance letters (seven out of eight probably isn’t tooo bad). I’ve stressed over scholarships from PCSD. I’ve stressed over finally making a decision. I’ve honestly probably annoyed everyone (yeah, I know most of you are probably saying “yeah, Jaxx, thanks for FINALLY making a decision”) with what I was going to do. I’ve also made myself sick over it, I wanted to pick a school so bad that I stopped focusing on more important things like eating and current school stuff.
The list started with eight: Bowdoin (Maine, liberal arts, good for my English major), Baldwin-Wallace (Berea, right down the street practically), Miami University (five hours away in Oxford, Ohio), University of Toledo (two hours away), University of Dayton (three and a half hours away), John Carroll University (30 minutes, by Legacy Village and Beachwood Mall, Small, liberal arts school, great for English), Providence College (Rhode Island, liberal arts, has Friars), and The Ohio State University (Columbus, Dream school since I was 8 years old, Buckeyes).
It went down to seven after my one rejection letter: Miami, Baldwin-Wallace, Toledo, Dayton, John Carroll, Providence, Ohio State.
Then it was three: Miami, Dayton, Ohio State.
We went down to two: Ohio State and Toledo
Back to three: Toledo, John Carroll, and Baldwin-Wallace. (Notice I just switched all my schools entirely)
The past couple weeks I’ve been considering my options at Toledo, JCU, and BW. To tell you the truth I thought I’d end up at BW. But with the decision making of my wonderful father, I am attending John Carroll. There is still the possibility that I will change it and go to Toledo since they have yet to send me any kind of financial aid award, but that doesn’t matter right now.
The most important thing right now is that I am committed to a school and am finally able to take a breath and focus on everything else. ​
