The Way it Is
Everything is predetermined. There's nothing you can do but accept it.
It’s winter break and I’m writing college essays in Colorado. The ground is covered in snow and it’s still coming down. Yet, I’m inside, writing about diversity. This is one of the hardest college essays yet. I want to go to this college so badly that this essay has to be perfect. But how can I perfect it when I would rather be out frolicking in the snow? I can feel a snow break coming on. I also know that two of my college decisions are sitting at the mailbox at home. I want to know!
I always feel fairly isolated here in Colorado. I love spending time with my family, to an extent, but it’s hard being here when so much is going on at home. And I have a lot to do but I can’t do any of it here. Relaxing is not something I’m used to. But at least we have snow here! I know you’re jealous.
