Chicago and College

What is it that I love about Chicago so much? It could be the towering skyscrapers, the sparkling night life, the downtown beaches, the fun festivals, the quirky tourist stops, or maybe just the fact that I was born there.

Whatever it is, I have always had a love for Chicago IL, even more so now that I live almost 500 miles away. I find myself in awe of this amazing city every time I visit it. For quite some time now I have dreamed of returning to this wonderful city and starting my (hopeful) acting career. Although many of these types of endeavors usually fail, I have more than a hunch that is where I'm supposed to be.

But it's all easier said than done.


Getting there is the hard part. And as much as I would LOVE to attend Columbia College of Chicago, I have a feeling my parents will do everything in their power to keep me in state. Though I may not totally hate the idea of staying in Tennessee, my biggest fear is that I'll never get my dream: performing on the 'big stage'.

Now don't get me wrong, Tennessee has so many things to offer me, including careers like being a recording artist, a musician, an opera singer, and a music teacher, but Chicago has always been part of the dream, and I have to at least try.

Fortunately, Columbia doesn't even require an audition to apply for the school, which makes my whole college application process a LOT easier, but also harder since my acceptance/rejection wouldn't be based on talent at all; but sheerly by my resume.

Oh boy, thinking about college hurts my brain, but I can't help but get so excited! Dreaming of going to school in a city like Chicago makes me so giddy and ready to jump into the next phase of life. Auditions start this fall!! :D

I. Can't. Wait.


till the applications are sent in,
lindsey.
