College...

Starting this week, I will begin my college essay. Even though I have no idea what I am going to write about, I am looking forward to getting it over with. My parents hired a college planner, that will help me with applying to different colleges, will take me on visits to colleges, and, most importantly, will make sure that my essay is as strong as possible. I am not very good at putting my own thoughts on paper, especially thoughts that have to reflect myself. As for what I want to go to college for, I am trying to decide between pharmacy school, or medical school. Both are very good fields to go in, or so I have heard, but both are very competitive to get in. UK has a very good pharmacy school, but only a hundred get in out of a thousand applicants. As for out of state schools, I am very conflicted. I don't know if I want to go 5-6 hours away from home during first couple years of college, even though uuniversities like Butler and Mercer have great pharmacy schools. But, the benefits of going to Butler and Mercer are almost too good to pass up. At both of those universities, I would automatically get into there pharmacy programs and not have to worry about not getting in. But, I am still not certain where or why I want to go.
