Choosing Universities

June 22, 2009

I hate this nonsense. It’s so hard.

Alright, so I applied for a transfer from McMaster University in Hamilton to either York University or University of Toronto because they’re closer to home and all those things. But now after first year at Mac (McMaster), I kind of love it there and I have some good friends and plan for future courses and tings at Mac.

But now I get my acceptances to both UofT and York and I’m all confused. I didn’t think I would get accepted, to tell you the truth. My grades were just… sufficient. But anyways, I got accepted at both schools. My parents want me to go to UofT obviously so they’re no help in giving me advice.

Right now I’m between UofT (Scarborough Campus, though… ghetto but they have the program I’m interested in) and McMaster (my beloved). It’s tough, for real. Theres a lot to explain about why its so tough but that’ll be TMI if I get into it. Basically it’s about the courses and international study abroad opportunities. Another deciding factor is the environment. Mac has a sick campus and even sicker people. I honestly didn’t meet one mean person there, everyone’s so nice. But at UTSC it’s all Scarborough/Toronto people who are all gangsters. Well not everyone there will be a gangster but a lot will be and I thought I left all that nonsense behind in high school. But whatever, it won’t really affect me academicaly so I can’t base my decison on that alone.

I’m leaning towards UTSC because they offer me an honours degree, which Mac does not…
UTSC: B.A. Honours International Studies Minor: Political Science, International Development
McMaster:
B.A. Political Science

I’m just thinking so hard right now and it’s cheesing me. I liked having a place in another town to get away from my house for 5 days a week. I love seeing my family and all that but it was nice to have that escape, kind of.. I don’t know. Fuck, though. I have to decide today. AND I’m working midnights so I have to sleep. Fuck me, for real..

Whatever. Whatever! I’ve decided. Screw it. I’ll go to McMaster University for Grad School or something. Their Grad Schools are easier to get into than UofT’s.

I’m going to University of Toronto.

Saying this makes me feel kind of gay with my university but right now it feels like I just broke up with someone really awesome and great but the breakup had to happen because it’s for the best. See, I told you.. sounded kinda gay right. Oh well.

UTSC… let’s do this, bish. (still kind of cheesed I’ll miss Mac, still)
