Recent events are making me entirely rethink my plans for my future. I always planned on going to a college in the US and spending a year abroad after a couple of years. Today, I got an email from NYU telling me that I have been accepted into their
Freshman Year in Florence Program. I'd spend my first year of college in Florence, Italy, then the next three in New York. This is such a bombshell. At first I was upset, I wanted to go to NYU, not this program. I wanted to have a traditional American College education. Lots of parties and studying all night and cheering for football teams. Then I realized that this is actually amazing. I could spend another year in Europe. I've never had a desire to live in Italy, but why not? I mean, that is the type of person I am, I'm the girl who loves traveling. This is so crazy to me. I've now gotten accepted at three of the schools I applied to. I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself. I'm excited.
