Update

I just received a full-tuition scholarship to the U.

That's looking like a pretty good option right now.

School

They have these cool new layouts for blogs, so I made a new one and I thought I might as well actually write something on this thing.

I've been thinking a lot about schools lately, and I think I'll either go to the U or Utah State. I have a guaranteed 2 year full-tuition scholarship for USU, and hopefully I'll get something good from the U too, but I won't find out about that until the end of this month. I'll also have the New Century Scholarship, which could cover up to 70% of tuition. Because my tuition will already be covered, they'll just cut me a check for what I've earned that I can use to cover housing and food. I realized the other day that if I buy a food plan that provides me with enough food to survive, I can use any money I earn to stock my dorm with Fruit Smiles. So I'm pretty much all my hard work will be rewarded with practically unlimited fruit snacks. I really wish this thought would have occurred to me earlier; I would have been even more motivated to do well in school. So, If I could give any advice to young students, I'd say to put everything into terms of your ability to buy Fruit Smiles. That'll put things into perspective.
