Ever since I was little I have always loved the Gators and grew up going to football games.

My parents both went to the University of Florida and were huge Gator fans.

As I got older, and school got harder, I worried I would not get into the University of Florida.

So, I started looking at other options, Florida State University, University of Central Florida, University of Michigan, and more!

When Junior year of high school came around, I wanted to tour all of these colleges!

I loved each campus I visited but my two favorites were Michigan and Florida.

When Senior year rolled around I knew I wanted to stay in-state, so Florida quickly became my top choice again.

Florida acceptances were right around the corner, I was getting very nervous I wouldn't get in!
