Psychic

I have great news! I was accepted into John Jay College of Criminal Justice as well as Baruch College! I get nervous when writing a personal statement, and for some reason I thought I wouldn't be accepted. I tried to apply to other non-CUNY colleges in New York, and I wasn't able to get in. So, I had that fear in the back of my mind. That's why I didn't apply not just to 1 but 2 CUNY colleges. I'd be studying Human Rights (online) in John Jay College or Higher Education Administration (hybrid) in Baruch.

I consulted a psychic because I could not decide nor wanted to try to figure out which college I should attend. The psychic said that Baruch would be boring and that in John Jay, there would be more prospects and I would be able to evolve. It's funny because I wasn't prepared for that answer and the thought of attending John Jay didn't ignite a fire inside of me. I originally had a pros and cons list for both colleges:

Baruch

HEA

Guaranteed career placement

Hybrid classes

FWS pays more

It’s familiar but doesn’t feel like home

It’s closer

It’s harder

Classes seem interesting

John Jay

Human Rights

Non-guaranteed career placement

All online

FWS pays less

It’s familiar and feels like home

It’s farther

It’s easier

Classes seem boring

All I know is that I won't be able to attend full-time classes at Baruch if I work full-time. I think I might've put that I would like to take classes part-time at John Jay. I don't know what to do because I'm still looking at the job market. I'll re-visit this at a later date.
