S.A.T.

11 hours and counting until I will force myself through what many consider to be the defining moment for many colleges for all high school students… The S.A.T.

This is not my first time with the dreaded test, nor will it be my last as I have already made plans for a retake over summer break when I have a little more time to focus on general review. With the factors above considered it seems as if I should feel that this particular test holds no importance, however that is not the case. In fact I probably could not be any more stressed out towards a single test than I currently am. But why is this test causing me so much unnecessary stress?

I blame the government…

Actually that is a lie. I think the stress is 100% a product of my desire to attend a decent college. I know that a school cannot define an individual and I have been reminded on multiple occasions that you will only get out of college what you put into it yet I still feel as if I will be looked down upon if I am not accepted into a “top school.”

p.s. thanks to everyone who has supported me in the creation of my blog (especially Sean who made me aware of the opportunity)
