Picking a College!!

One thing that took a big reality check was my college choice growing up!  When you are young, you do not think about the important stuff like tuition, boarding fees, location, degrees offered, etc.; all I knew was that University of North Carolina (UNC)  was my only choice and I was ready to be a part of Tar Heel Nation. As time went by, I started to learn things about colleges and myself.  First off, I learned that science & math where my niches and I wanted to make sure my career path followed suit.  Another thing, I found out about was “Out of State Fees” lol.  That alone help me realized that home is where the heart is kmsl. However, it was not until I saw “A Different World” that my love for our culture took over. I have always loved my Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU’s) though; my family is deep in Grambling and I have always loved the band at Southern University!  As the years passed, my choice was made clear: Jaguar Nation was the one for me. One thing that movies, television shows, and childhood did not show was that college is hard work lol.  I only paid attention to the parties, football games, & probates.  No one ever mentioned that classes, projects, and learning was involved lol.  I do not hate it here, but it is not my favorite either lol.
