The Future...

Senior year is coming and going right before my eyes. I can't believe that four years ago I was a timid little freshman...it feels like yesterday! As we wrap up first semester, graduation almost seems to be right around the corner. With graduation comes many important decisions that could decide my future. Although U of Vermont has been my dream school for so long, I have recently realized that graduating $200,000 in debt is probably not a smart idea. So, I'm starting to lean towards my second choice, Northland College in Ashland. Yes it's small and in the middle of nowhere, but something about it is just very appealing to me. I toured it a couple of months ago and fell in love. All of the students and faculty feel so much like one giant family...and everyone was super welcoming! The school is filled with hippies and dreads (which is a-ok by me!) and is so focused on the environment it's unreal. Despite the size, Northland seems almost perfect for me! Ofcourse it doesn't hurt that they also gave me a nice sized scholarship :) I'm starting to think alot more about what is truly the right thing to do for my future, and i'm so excited to see what God has planned for me! I give all of my trust in Him and I know He will lead me in all the right directions :)

Here is a verse that has really been speaking to my heart lately!

I will say of the Lord.  He is my refuge and my fortress:  In Him
       will I trust." 

                                                                                     - Psalm 91:2
