I'm in the middle of filling out college applications for this fall, and I am not at all happy.

I have no idea what I want to major in. I have no idea where I want to go to college. I have no idea what colleges would actually be a good match for me.

I know that the decision of what college I go to will effect me for the rest of my life. And quite frankly, that scares me a hellofalot.

What if I pick a college with a good science program, and it turns out I want to major in English? What if I hate the college I pick, and the one right next to it on the list, I would have loved?


Gah.
How did you pick your college?

secondary education is about trial and error.

Distance from home, and campus life.

I don't care if the college I want is the most prestigious, because when it comes to a job, after those first few all employers care about is history instead of who gave you your diploma.

I've looked through a lot of those sites.

The problem is that I don't really know what I want.

The lack of snow, was a major factor.
Also how close my Grandparents live from the college (4 miles).
And the fact I wasn't planning on staying in Wisconsin.

I'm not bitching, I'm trying to make an informed decision.

money, getting accepted, good school etc.

to be honest, I put all the names of the colleges face down on my bed and picked one. I dont recommend that way.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair,
gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your
inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit which is of great worth in God's sight

I'm down to about the final 8 right now.

I'm not looking forward to making this decision either.
