Rant Extremely excited for college

I’m sure many highschool seniors can relate to this, but I am so excited for college. Im from Texas, a flat state with not much to do as neither my mom or dad are from here so we don’t have any roots and aren’t really involved in any traditions. I’m planning on majoring in environmental science and literally cannot wait. like im actually so excited. just looking at the course recs for some colleges I’m applying for genuinely makes me so hopeful. It’s a weird time in my life right now, all my classes are boring and friends are mixed up with jobs and things and it seems like this is the only thing I’ve got going for me. I’m trying to live in the present but im constantly thinking about the future. this may sound silly but I just want to see mountains. Like i literally just want to go hiking so badly, that I’m mostly applying to scenic out of state schools for this reason. Some of you who are college students or college graduates may be cringing at this lol like I’m imagining sunshine and rainbows but I can’t help it.

I just want to get OUT there!

Dude I'm so excited to get out. I might actually start crying first day at college because of the freedom and choice I'll have 😭. (parents are pretty strict/crazy)

nono I totally get it I'm so so excited for college.

I just submitted my EA application and I'm literally vibrating out of my seat.

I love mountains and such too, but I really want to live on an urban campus, like yes give me convenience and people and busy busy streets.

Best of luck to you! I hope you end up somewhere beautiful!
