Food For Thoughts

What's shaking, Lovelies

I've done some more thinking about my future, more specific and coming up sooner than I may realize or like.

Let me start with the ACT. At my school it is required for all students to take the ACT to graduate. Simple as that, everyone takes it to move on with their lives.
Towards the beginning of March, the 4th this year, the entire school is testing. Juniors are taking the ACT upstairs (which is off limits all morning, and the rest of the week due to more testing) and the freshman and sophomores are required to take the PLAN. This is the official senior skip day.

I am really kind of nervous to take the ACT in two and a half weeks. I don't feel ready, I don't feel prepared, I don't feel like I am going to get the score that I would like. Despite the ACT prep class at my school that I had joined, the teachers stressing the importance and making up lesson plans around this, and my own independent studying, I -I don't know what to say. I just don't know.
I want to do really well on this test. It's so important.

I would love, love, love to get a 29. A 29 is my goal, but I will take nothing less than a 25. Anything under a 25 for my composite score and, I swear, I will retake it. That just won't cut it.
Truthfully, I really need a 27 composite, but right now I am only getting a 25. It scares me; I don't know how to get it up any more.

Part of the reason why I want/need at least a 27 on my ACT is because I could get more money annually from a scholarship from the college I would like to attend. This college is University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana. Although I haven't visited (yet!), I really feel as if Evansville is the right place for me. That is the main reason why I am freaking out about my score so much!

I am also really nervous about college life and not having anyone around. It will be really great to meet new people and make new friends, though I have never been on my own for anything. It's a bit nerve wrecking to think about...

This is all not to mention picking a major, taking classes, the money needed, dorm life : /, the vast amount of hours I will be from my family. Whoa! My brain is overloading.
