I’m not one for personal accounts on these blogs, but for this, I’ll make an exception. Well, I’d hope that you could tell from the title of this blog that the subject matter is acceptance to universities.
Today when I came home from school, I found a big, white envelope lying where the mail usually sits. It was a letter from Wesleyan University, a school where I had applied. “That’s odd,” I thought to myself. It’s far to early for a decision letter, as I did not apply early, and it’s a little late for a brochure or a letter trying to attract me to their school. It was also far too big to be just a normal letter, telling me that they’re excited that I applied and they’ll let me know later. I’m not going to lie; the thought did cross my mind that it was possible to be an acceptance letter, but that idea was quickly extinguished by the fact that it seemed a little too light.
I opened the letter and read: “Dear Alex, Congratulations! On behalf of the faculty of Wesleyan University and our admission committee, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to join the Class of 2012…” I could not believe it. I had to re-read the letter over and over to get the thought into my head.
Just an hour ago, I was fretting about waiting another half-month for a decision, only to find out that I’ve been rejected from every school I applied to. Thank god that’s not the case, but it feels so weird. It’s like it’s finally real: I’m going to college next year. I still feel like just a kid, and I don’t know how I’m going to adjust to the idea that I have been accepted to a University. It feels very odd, but it is still quite exciting!
