I swung my necklace around as eyed the three envelopes on the table. I sat nervously in my chair waiting for my mother to come home.
"There are here." I said in the most causal voice I could muster.
"Really?" My mother said her face turning to a grin.
She grabbed the envelopes and placed them closer to me.
I picked up the first one flipped it around and Portland University was printed on the corner.
I let out a deep sigh and stuck my fingers into the side. Before pulling out the paper I peeked over at my mother. She saw me and gave me a hopeful grin.
"Dear Thalia Ann Young." I read out loud, " We are pleased to tell you you have been accepted to our university."
I dropped the letter and hugged my mother. A small tear rolled down her face.
"You have two more." My mother said.
I read the next letter, Boise State.
I skipped to the part that mattered.
"You have not been accepted." I said.
"That's alright, there's two more" My mother said.
Picked up the very last letter. The one I had waited for, Stanford University. I had wanted to go to Stanford ever since I first visited the campus when I was little with my dad. He had to go and meet a fellow professor from a different college there. I remember the huge beautiful campus and the numerous buildings.
Ever since I had started applying to colleges, I knew that Stanford was my number one choice, but at the same time I new that there was only a five percent chance of me even getting in. I mentally crossed my fingers as I tore into the white envelope.
I unfolded the letter and skipped to the most important part.
"You have been accepted!" I squealed.
"Congratulations." My mother said, happiness evident in her tone.

I called Aiden and told her the news. She was happy for me but I could hear the edge of sadness in her voice. I would miss her too. After all she was the only best friend I had ever had.
Next was Bryce. The same reaction came thought the phone.
The phone was silent for a second
"So." Bryce said. "Are we together?"
" Hmm, let me think, yes." I said
Our conversation continued but all that was on my mind was I had a boy friend, I had a best friend, and I was going to collage.
I dialed Aiden's number again. I told her the new news
"Wow, today's your day." She said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
--------
I smiled as I sat in my bed looking at my ceiling. Today was my day.
------
So yeah. Collage that's big. Sorry this is so short.
