Challenge: Committing to a Graduate School
Yes, I know what you are thinking, graduate school has absolutely nothing to do with running, and you would be absolutely correct. Even though it doesn't necessarily go along with my running theme, it is a very critical part of my life right now. During the fall semester, I applied to ten, yes, ten, graduate programs. Over the last several months of traveling around the country for interviews I was admitted to seven of the ten programs. While I was extremely proud of myself, I became immediately confused as to which program I would choose. It was easy to narrow down my choice of seven to three, but picking from those three was so hard. All programs were roughly equal in rank and course selection. The main difference was location; Nashville, New York City, and Los Angeles.

Yes, that's right -- I will be spending the next 2-3 years at Teachers College of Columbia University in New York City! I am very nervous but also incredibly excited. I will be studying Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling -- YAY!

Congratulations!! One of my friends goes to Columbia. I visited him last semester, and I fell in love with the campus. I am sure you will love it there as well! Life in the big apple will be very exciting. I hope to move there one day as well.
