Blue means committed (:
Closed a few doors today, and I'm so much closer to deciding what I'm going to do with the next four (or maybe ten) years of my life.
Turning down an Ivy was so, so hard for my proud heart, and it's going to take quite a while before the pangs of regret die down. But Tufts, in the end, is a better school for me than Cornell. Nearly everyone I talked to who had an opinion about it told me that Tufts seemed like a better school for me, even the random Cornell admit that FB messaged me out of the blue. I sometimes question the very existence of this, but my gut tells me I made the right decision.
If I don't get a scholarship or I get an offer from Yale-NUS College though, it'll throw the entire thing off-kilter again.
Oh well. My gut also tells me it's not over yet. Far from over.
