This past week I finished all my applications. It was the best feeling. It felt as if a huge load was lifted off my shoulders, I felt stress free. I felt so accomplished and confident. As a reward, I visited Marquette University for the second time. My first time I attended a campus tour and presentation, but this time was more for fun. I shadowed my best friend and stayed over two nights. It felt like I was truly a college student.
Friday morning I attended all of Molly's classes: theology, biology, chemistry lecture and lab. I was glad to have come this day because chemistry and biology are my favorite subjects. I loved the small class size and felt like a true student at Marquette. I took notes, answered questions with Molly on her clicker and even was able to participate in a lab. Knowing that I easily survived these classes reassured me that I will do fine in college, no matter where I decide to attend. The fact that I understood what was going on in classes, sometimes even more than the actual students, scared off all my fears of college. My older friends and cousins made college seem so hard, like it was impossible. But getting this experience only readied me for the college experience. I am not saying her classes weren't challenging, but they weren't super easy. I found Marquette to be a great fit for me. Can't wait to see other colleges up close.
Not only did the classes seem right, but the Marquette environment felt perfect. Everyone was so friendly and offered me a helping hand. Molly's friends became my friends quickly and were sad to hear that Marquette wasn't my top choice. However, the more time I spent at Marquette, the more I loved it. I was even able to attend the first Marquette basketball game of the season. I loved the school spirit and the intensity. Everything seemed perfect. If I do choose Marquette, I know that I will succeed and have an amazing four years!
Thank you to my best friend Molly and her friends for making me love Marquette so much!
