Where were you?

University of Nevada, Reno.

That is what took up my whole entire day. I woke up at about 6:15 am (even though I set my alarm for 5:30.. Apparently I didn't wake up to it). Chelsea and her mom came and picked us (my mom and me) up around 6:40 am and no later than 7:00 am we were on the road.

I-80 East, all the way to Reno. It was raining the whole way up there and it was raning hard for some of it. We had Betty with us for the ride up there which was nice, so the car full of girls ACTUALLY DIDN'T GET LOST FOR ONCE. (For those of you that don't know, Betty is the GPS system that my dad got for us girls a year ago since we get lost all the time) We made it to UNR at around 8:50 and it was like BOOM BOOM BOOM.

We checked in as soon as we got there and were told to start the tour ALREADY. Lost story short, we got in groups of what majors we liked and head off on our journey. This is where Chelsea and I split since she is interested in Business and I.. well am not. I went with my mom in the "pre-med" group.

That was an adventure all in itself. The group was very talkative.. NOT. I felt like when I would even talk to my mom the whole group was like staring at me or something. It was almost as if everyone felt like they were too smart to ask questions. Now I get that to major in pre-med or what not you have to be pretty smart considering that it is a very hard thing to do... But do you really have to ACT smart all the time? It really got on my nerves that these people talked about how good they were in such classes and how it should be a piece of cake to get in to the med school.

They never said this to me exactly but when you are in a group of approx. 20 students and you are walking for-ev-er, you start to pick up people's conversations. I always heard people talking about how many AP classes they could squeeze in this semester and how next semester they had to add one more.. LIKE REALLY?? Is that really necessary?

Once the leader of the tour said that AP classes don't count towards this med school, it made me feel better about my decsions that I have made in high school but I still felt like a nobody with everyone talking about their GPA's around me. Am I really that stupid? Or am I just normal?

Once that tour was over, I felt like it was a lot easier to have fun on the other tours because it wasn't academics that were being talked about. It was more about college life. I AM VERY EXCITED about college life. The dorms, the friends, the food (mmmm ice cream), the experiences, etc. All things that I have been looking forward to for a really long time actually started becoming real in that small period of time.

We looked at a lot of the dorms and WOW. Each one was different in it's own way. One that was pretty snobby with it's own bathroom in the dorm (1200 a year.. EXTRA), the second that was a substance free hall, all guys, all girls, co-ed. Each one was different and each one was so much fun to look at and see what to expect at any college really.

I hate the cold. Everyone who knows me will know that and actually this college was great. I loved how it was set up, I loved how everyone was so nice, and I loved how everyone was so willing to help you with anything. It was almost like the whole campus was already their own awkward family in their own awkward way.

To put an end to this.. My day was very eventful. It was very exciting. And I am overall glad that I was able to go.



Even though I missed Josiah James :(
