I have completed my college process [finally!] and I am now just chilling for acceptance letters. A few people I know are applying to HBCUs and I can't help but wonder if I should feel guilty for not applying to one. I can get into an HBCU in 2 seconds so me getting in is not the problem. It's that I feel like I would not fit in at one. All through high school I was like "I'm gonna go to Spelman, be an AKA, and live like they did on A Different World!" Humph! Oh how that dream died when I actually went to visit Spelman over Columbus weekend. I didn't mind that it was all girls because Morehouse is right there and it's not like I will be fcking people during class [that would be hilarious tho lol] but it is the type of girls there that I couldn't handle. The girls were either straight hood or horrendously sadity. There was no medium and me being from NYC, I need a medium because I can be a lil too much for people who aren't like me lol. Then I LOVEDDDD Howard but their administration is trash. They are always losing shit and I would hate to be one of the kids who doesn't have a dorm room. I'll be damned if I have to move off campus. Also DC wasn't pretty for me. It looked rougher than NYC lol. I felt all types of unsafe walking around that area. I would love to apply to Howard but I know I will be very distracted there between the parties and fashion, no work will be done. In general I know I wouldn't love an HBCU because I need diversity. I've been in an all black & hispanic school [elementary] then an all white school [junior high] and now I am in a very diverse high school. I love knowing all types of people and having a peek into their culture and things of that nature. I don't know man. Chances are I will apply to Howard but I don't know if I will go and I don't wanna take that spot from someone who will.
But what I do know is whenever their homecoming goes down I WILL BE THERE!
