College!!!!!

I really wish I could just skip the  process of having to apply to colleges and just go to UK. I'm almost positive that UK is going to accept me. They keep sending me letters and emails about how amazing UK is. My grades aren't terrible and my ACT score is ok, so as long as I don't totally fail my senior year i should be fine. The only other college that I would even bother applying to is Centre, and I already know it's way too expensive for me. Right now the thought of college scares me since I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life. I think I want to do something with science but I'm not sure what specific field I would go in to. Marine biology seemed like a good choice but that's what everybody does and one of my relatives who is a marine biologist says it's a dying field. I definitely want to do something where I would end up getting hired at a decent job after college. Having to pay for four years of college and then not even be able to get a job is ridiculous. Hopefully when I apply to UK I won't have to write any essays explaining why I would be a good fit for their college. I won't add anything special to UK that they already don't have. I'm almost positive that I won't be going to an out of state college. Going to college out of state means no KEES money and that I would have to take the SAT. And I'm sure that UK can offer as much as out of state schools while still letting my use my KEES money. 

The Most Dangerous Game

This short story reminded me of The Hunger Games. People are forced to go into some hostile environment and try and not die. What I liked about this story is that before being trapped on the island, Rainsford was explaining how he thought animals didn't experience fear or pain when being hunted. Rainsford will probably have a very different perspective on life and hunting after becoming the hunted.Another thing I liked was how the author indirectly revealed the ending of the story without having to explicitly state who won the duel.  Despite reading this short story freshmen year I still found it exciting. The story is short, concise, and straight to the point. The author doesn't try and make the story more then something it really is. I liked how the author made Whitney a character foil to Rainsford. This foil accentuates Rainsford bad qualities and makes it less surprising   when he is inevitably hunted by Zaroff.
