I can’t stop thinking about UNF. The academics aren’t amazing, but at this point I could absolutely care less about going to college. I want to move away and get a job and work. That’s not realistic, though, so I at least have to get an education. And where better than somewhere far enough away that the likelihood of me running into anyone from Ocala up there is miniscule? Plus, it is far enough for me to have a complete clean slate. College is a new beginning and I want an extremely new beginning. I want to go somewhere and start over. Learn the town, meet the people. A place where I don’t have any connections. That idea romances me every morning when I wake up and is in my dreams every night. So what the academics aren’t the same at UF? I’ll at least have a college degree. 

Education has driven me crazy. I don’t want any more education. I want to know the world and what it is like to live in society, and not my little private-school-then-IB bubble. Jacksonville isn’t the biggest city, but it’s bigger than Gainesville. It’s more of a city. It’s more of the real world. It’s not my safe haven of dependence on friends or family. I’d get to make my own place, on my own, and that is something I absolutely crave.
