Ok listen to me. This is what college is all about. Making your own decisions, so why let your mom nag you into doing something you don't want? ONLY apply to the colleges YOU want to go to and while you are at it check their campuses and decide where YOU think YOU will be the most comfortable. Listen to what your mom has to say and consider the choices you have but what it comes down to is you. As soon as you get into college you also need to choose the class you want to take. That decision is all up to you and decides how your life is going to be when your older. On the subject of choosing your own classes. This is something I try to tell everyone do what you love. Try a career where you will like to work and you wont loose interest in. I am try to direct you to what YOU want to do thats the only thing you will enjoy. And if you do pick a college and have regrets just forget it because as long as you're in control you will make the right decisions.
