Austin Peay State University

My last college visit of spring break, just also happened to be my favorite college visit. That feeling that everyone talks about where you just know that that is the college for you, well I think I felt that, actually I'm pretty positive, I just have to keep an open mind when I go to my other visits over the course of the next year.

We first got there and talked with the coach for a good hour and a half. I am normally the most socially awkward and shy person upon my first time talking with someone, but for some reason I was fine sitting with Coach Robson. We talked about me, golf, school, and just life in general. She was awesome; she was honest, encouraging, and upbeat. Not that I'm thinking "hey it's a done deal, I'm going here", but it's the first place I know and feel I have a chance. It was unbelievably encouraging and just a breathe of fresh air. I was ready to commit just talking to her, everything about the way she ran the golf program and her team was aweswome. I loved everything.

The thing that I have been noticing throughout my 6 visits altogether is that I can like the golf program, love the coach, whatever, but I have not found a college I feel confident about academically and socially. Not many (4 Division-1) schools offer my major, so it is more of what different subjects can they offer me to kind of altogther mend my major. Austin Peay, like others, doesn't offer it as a major, but...they have it as a minor. I talked with the playwriting professor and he made me feel so comfortable. He was telling me about this sitcom that the students produce, and all the different writing, acting, and film making classes. And there is this internship program that I'd take where I am working in Nashville. I'd have soooo many opportunities it is ridiculous. I LOVED it, I actually saw myself studying screenwriting there, and that was a first.

And social life, OH SWEET MERCY, they have all kinds of different traditions, I'd move into the brand-new (literally, my class will be the first year there) dorms, they have like 8 different restaurants, they have football and basketball (believe it or not I visited a school without both) and so many other things.

I have never felt like this, I am soo ready to just pack up my things and head on over, I loved it soo much I'd be willing to walk on, like no joke, this is my first choice. And I am going to be working my butt off all spring, summer, and fall to get my game the level Coach Robson wants.

Oh my gosh I'm so happy just thinking about it, so wish me luck with my APSU endeavors!
