March 1st

As many college students know, March first is a very important day for almost everyone who is planning to or is attending college. March first this year is especially an important day for me since I have so many scholarships and grants to be submitted by that due date. Along with those deadlines there is also the financial aid deadline which is also on the same day as those scholarship deadlines. That is not even close to being the end of everything that is due by that date. The last two but the most important things that are due by March first are my instate tuition form since I am doing ocean engineering and I am allowed to get instate tuition since it is not offered in any public universities in Maryland, my home state. Finally the last thing is that I find out whether or not I got my Resident advisor position on march first, which is very important to me since it would be a great building block for me and my confidence, as I am trying to prove a point to myself.

March first does also bring something a little less stressful, it reminds me that my birthday is only seventeen days away and this is always a good day to alive and give thanks for everything you have in your life. This is probably the most important thing on my mind right now since I am cranking out essay after essay in order to complete all five of the scholarships that I am applying for. Along with those come all the emails that I have to send to the ocean engineering department everyday in order to figure out what I am supposed to do for my instate tuition.

I am glad to say that I am making some progress as I have finished one of my scholarships and I also completed my financial aid application yesterday, so that’s two less things that I need to worry about in the next two weeks and this should make my life a little, but not too much easier. I looking forward to that day when I can relax and say that I have finished everything and the only thing on my mind will be that my birthday is in seventeen days.
