** " An abundance of College information, feeling overwhelmed and still remaining undecided " ** media type="file" key="joannac-muckraker-2011.mp3"

After returning from the college fair I was to say the least, incredibly frustrated. I got home and I went to bed, I was so over college. I really didn’t want to hear another story about how good this school is and how much diversity we have….blah blah blah. I literally have a hundred informational packets in the bag they give you, however I doubt I’ll ever look through them because for now, Joanna is undecided. Despite all of this information, I don’t know where I want to go to college and I certainly don’t know what I want to do with my life. And to all those people who constantly ask me what I want to major in, I just want to say thank you. Thanks for once again adding to my stress load and keeping me up at night. Thanks for adding to my ambivalence and more importantly my insomnia. I mean I don’t know what the hell I want to do with my life, I’m 16 years old for crying out loud! And am sick of discussing this topic, I can take it no more. If one more person asks me where I want to go to school I will absolutely lose it. To be honest, I think I hate imaging college because I feel as if it’s the end of little to none responsibilities and the beginning of your real life. I mean you’re an adult, no longer a teenager at the hands of your parents….and it doesn’t stop there. You will at least go to school for another 4 years and even 5 more than that if you want a high paying job. Its all unfathomable to me, so I avoid it. However, I must point out I know I will have to eventually decide, but for the time being I am undecided. I am at a heart a procrastinator and I will procrastinate to the end!
