LTWP: College Musings
ltwp:
So my thoughts are… maybe this is a situation for me to forget about being “that guy” and being ME. I’ll stop doing things I don’t want to do, just for show, just trying to get that extra boost to land me acceptance in college and with peers, and start doing exactly what I want to do! And it’ll be fantastic, I hope! And maybe I’ll make enough money, but that’s OK if it doesn’t. That’s kinda what my last post was about. But of course this isn’t entirely realistic either. I just mean to say: maybe now’s a good chance to stop worrying agonizing amounts about school stuff and just let it slide. Have a little more fun. Still work hard, be cautious, but go out and do a bit more when you don’t want to do your homework.
I would be lying if I said I didn’t worry about money. But when I’m actually on the job, shooting or assisting, I don’t have a care in the world but what’s in front of me. So long as I can take in enough money to eat and pay rent, I’ll take everything else in stride because I’m doing what I love. I’d also be lying if I said I didn’t question what the heck I’ve gotten myself into, and how I’m going to pay the bills.
My first choice college turned me down. I ended up going to somewhere I didn’t want to, but turned out to be as good or better than my original preference would have ever been.
Hang in there.

Pittsburgh is wonderful, and so is Carnegie Mellon. However, if you can go to an equally reputable school, in an equally great city for free, do it. In 10 years when you’re not paying off hundreds of thousands of dollars, it will be worth it.

I’m very proud of you and where you got in, Lukas. I feel like going to an Ivy would just make you continue doing what you “have” to do versus what you want to do. Just do what makes you happy! That’s all that matters in the longrun, in my opinion.

Hey! Yeah, rejection is a bitch. I didn’t reach for anywhere as near as any of the schools you went for, but the major I wanted didn’t ask for it. But I go to Northeastern Uni. It’s awesome here in Boston, do give it a thought!

I can relate a lot. I think everything happens for the best though even though it might not seem like at first. whatever you end up doing will be amazing! I’m sure of it!
