All of the other schools were awesome options. But at the end of the day, there was no where else that I truly wanted to go more than Illinois. The day that I found out I got in and could be an Illini for life was one of the happiest days of my young life. And almost four years later, I feel the exact same way.

All of these schools seemed so great, and choosing where I would spend the next four years of my life wasn't going to be easy. Stay at home and continue on my family's tradition? Go to Florida? Fly all the way to Arizona? Iowa seems like a pretty good choice...but Bama sounds like fun, and my good friend IS going.

As a huge sports fan, why not think Bama? Unreal at football, and one of my best friends was also thinking about going too. Not too far from where I visit in Florida. Roll Tide??

Go Hawkeyes! Iowa really caught my eye because it was closer to home, but not too close. A good school, and a lot of people from my hometown went to school there. Why not join them?

Besides Florida, I had a cousin who went to the University of Arizona. With a lot of family who lived close to the university, I really wanted to follow in his footsteps and go west to the U of A.

Besides growing up in Illinois, my family frequently visited Florida. I became a big fan of both their football and basketball teams, and as I got older, I always considered going to Florida for school.

Ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to attend the University of Illinois. My dad went to school here, and I started going to a football game every single year, starting when I was just 3.
