We Were Accepted to College! Now The Journey Begins.
If you follow me on twitter, you may already know this. BabyGirl was accepted to the #1 college of her choice! Yaaay! Woo-Hoo! Now we’re really college bound! Congrats baby!
The hardest part is over, but next, we have to apply for scholarships, meet with the CPA/tax planner, file our 2009 taxes, complete financial aid forms, work hard to maintain (and improve) her GPA, actually graduate – and then the fun part – prepare for college life in the dorms!
When I was in college, I only lived in the dorms for one year. However, my room was private and apartment style, which means I have no idea what is needed to feel comfortable in a communal living environment. So I reached out to my twitter peeps and asked them for advice about “must have” items and their estimated cost. In response, the fabulous Well-Heeled offered to write a guest post for us. Stay tuned tomorrow for the deets!

Congrats to both you and BabyGirl. I know you must be very proud. You’ve done a great job taking care of her and now maybe she can take care of you once she gets that good job.

Congrats to ur daughter! One regret that I have is not being able to go away to college. Most persons I know thought it was one of the best experiences they’ve ever had and I encourage young people I know to go AWAY! Congrats again BG!
