Guess who applied for college??

#me! it me #i was supposed to go to college in 2020. but the college i was supposed to go to went bankrupt #seriously. during spring break i got an email that basically said 'surprise! the future you thought you had? its gone! fuck you!' #by this point it was too late to apply to any more colleges for the year. so i decided to take a gap year #that one year turned into four. and here i am #i liked working full time. i had a good job in a kitchen. i was doing well for myself #but i always regretted not going to college #i was going to go to become an asl interpreter. this college was one of the best in the country for asl interpreting #but today i was bored at work. and my sibling has been encouraging me to apply tothe nearby community college #and they have an interpreting program! so i applied #and i might actually go to college in january #thats wild. thats honestly wild. i didnt expect that #after this long i kind of resigned myself to job hopping for the rest of my life #just taking whatever job would take me that didnt need a degree #but i want more than that. so we're gonna go to college! #im worried. scared. apprehensive. etc #but mostly im proud of myself for taking this step #school is hard. and i havent been in school for years. so i guess we'll see how that goes #i hope you're having a wonderful day 💙💙💙
