I am Michelle Tanner, I will be 18 in November, I will be leaving for college in 3 days.
I plan to major in Journalism with a minor in American Sign Lanuage .

i spent all of my junior year applying and reapplying to dozens of colleges, and I was accepted to Berkley, Baylor, and the University of Illinois. My dad had hoped I would choose Berkley because it was close to home, Baylor is closer than Illinois. I researched my options, and decided that University of Illinois would be the best for me.

I walked downstairs, dad was sitting at the counter with a cup of coffee, my step mom Sara was standing at the stove flipping pancakes. "Hi mom." I said grabbing a glass and then the juice out of fridge. "Are you all packed?" She said smiling at me, before flipping the last pancake onto a plate. "I have a few more things to grab before I finish the last tote. My dad handed me his credit card, and the car keys. "The Focus is yours, just be careful, I'll drive you to Champaign, and I'll fly back." He said kissing me on the side of head. " I'm going to run to Hobby Lobby, and a few other places." I said taking the keys from the counter, and turned to see my little brother Noah come into the kitchen in his school uniform. "Hi sissy, are you leaving now?" He said going to the table. "No not yet, I'm going to the store, I'll be back before you get out of school." I said smiling at him "Love you sissy." He said running up and wrapping his arms around me, I bent down to his level, he was 5, starting Kindergarten, I was starting college, my sister Kaedence was starting Nursery school, it was wierd, we were all growing up, Stephanie is married and lives in Modesto, DJ and Steve are still together and have 3 boys.

I left and arrived back home, it was starting to get dark out, I walked into the house, and as I turned on the light, everyone jumped out at me. I fell backwards on my butt, and almost dropped my bags in the process. I was happy to see everyone, Vickie came back from Chicago with her little girl, Aunt Wendy, Joey, and daniel were there. Lots of hugs, well wishes, I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see Derek and Lisa standing behind me. When the party was over, I made it a point to go find Aaron, Dad said he was invited but he never showed up.

I knocked on his apartment door, he opened it wearing a towel, "the party, I completely forgot babe, come in."He said stepping aside to let me in, I told my dad that I probably wouldnt be back and not to wait up, Aaron was in the National Guard, and would be staying in California before moving on to base. Aaron and I had been together since 7th grade, and not off and on, we have been together the entire 5 and a half years. We had talked about giving our selves to each other, but never really went through with it. I opened my eyes and the sun was coming through the window, I had no regrets, I slid out of bed reaching for my clothing, I slipped into the bathroom, and then out the door, I knew he would call me later.

I arrived back home and slipped into the kitchen before anyone else was up, I put breakfast together and waited for the family to join me... My dad was the first, then my little brother, and soon the rest of the family joined. My step mom and little brother cleared the table, as I went upstairs to finish packing, I finished around 5:00, and went down to see if I could help make dinner, which I was shooed away. "I'm gonna take a drive, I'll be back in a little while." I said taking my car keys.
