College

College. Two syllables that encompass our entire future, dreams and life. Once you get into a good college, everything is ok. Atleast that's what my parents say. And they better be right. But what people don't understand is that we're all killing ourselves for those two syllables. Extra-curriculars, Volunteer work, sports, clubs, the good ol' GPA, scholarships, SAT's, AP exams, ACT'S. It never ends. Today my mom told me "You should get back into dance. You can put that on a college application." When did it all become about college? What happened to doing things because you like doing them? When did every quiz suddenly become your whole future? I don't know. But the truth is- nothing really seems worth it anymore.
