I'm going to a college next year. I'm applying to college. I want to attend a college close to home and study elementary education in college. I may get a scholarship based on grades. I met my boyfriend by the lake. I am patient.
I like to play basketball pro. I graduated college in May. I attended college close to home. I had a basketball scholarship.  I am a tall person. I am 7 foot guy. I had a knee surgery. I hurt my knee playing basketball.  The surgery has been difficult, but I hope to be fully recovered in a month or two. I started physical therapy last week.
I applied to a few colleges close to home and some that are farther away. Which is your first choice in college? Is it expensive? I'm not sure what my first choice is, probably NYU since I might be able to get a scholarship. It's so expensive though, I really hope I get the scholarship I don't know too much about them. Do they have a good elementary education program? I went to Seton Hall on a basketball scholarship. I was able to live at home so I didn't have much expenses that weren't covered by my scholarship. Yeah it seems to be really good, I even went to visit before applying and the students I met had nothing but good things to say. I'm hoping to live at home at least for my first year to save some money, but I'm worried about missing out on not seeing my new friends as often, did you ever feel left out staying at home instead of dorms? No, because there is a strong sense of comradery among sport teammates. I was always at practice or some team social event, so I had a great social life.  My home town is just ten minutes away from campus. Ah okay, that's nice, I'll have to make sure to join some extra curricular sports to keep my social life thriving, would you recommend any sports for someone that's new to sports teams? The college level sports are usually too competitive for beginners. However there are lots of different groups you can join depending on your hobby. You can also try joining a sorority. I did think about joining a sorority, but they seem very elitist, I'll definitely have a look though when I get there to see if any seem fun. Did you join anything like that? Between school and basketball, I didn't have much time for other clubs. You have to keep your grade point average at a certain level in order to maintain your scholarship. I did get involved with the campus journalism club because that was my major. That's a good point, I do need to make sure I keep my grades up. At least if I don't get the scholarship I won't have to worry about losing it so I can have a bit more fun and freedom without feeling guilty. I'll definitely think about less intense clubs like journalism, I'd imagine that is a lot less intense than training for a basketball match? Yes, journalism was less stressful and it was very useful because I plan to be a sport broadcaster after I am done playing basketball professionally.
