Interests
I have always known what I wanted to pursue as far as schooling went. Never was there a doubt in my mind, even when others told me I should consider something else. Music has always been my passion, and it's the one thing I've been consistent about---never losing it, never wanted to stop listening to it---it's part of me, in a way. As for my minor, I have a few ideas. I'll either do art in general or graphic design. I like the drawing and creating areas too, and the college I'm going to has a book-binding class and pottery, drawing, painting.
Money
We all know college costs a lot, right? It's surprising, once you start looking. The good music schools that I was looking at were all far out of my parents' price range. Then I found my dream college. But it was really expensive. Not as high as the other schools, but way higher than what my parents had budgeted. My dad always said "if you're meant to go, the Lord will provide. It may not look possible, but something will happen." And you know what? Something did happen. And I am going there. Debt-free.
Experience
Time
Time. Time to go, time to stay home, time to learn, time to forget. There's a time for everything, right? This in-between-child-and-adult seems the best time to go and fledge from the nest, doesn't it? And our brains are ready to learn and capable of remembering. Of course, a prominent argument for staying home is that you're at your prime---to get married and have children---soo why waste those years holed up reading textbooks and writing papers?
Any questions? :)
