Why

So Ive been swimming since I was 3, and this is my 11th year swimming year round. Lets just say i havent exactly had much of a childhood because swim practice was always more important than whatever plans i may have had. Sleepover? Nah practice. Movie? Got a meet. Want to sleep in this weekend? Hahahaha no get up at 5am four days in a row to swim till 12pm, come home that afternoon, sleep, get up and go back at 5pm to swim till 9. I know i shouldnt complain...i chose this life, but ive loved it and ive committed myself to this. But now Ive made my own decision that i dont want to swim in college. I want to be a real person, not defined by when practice is....But nobody will listen! my mom and coach and excoach keep going on about "what about this school? Great swim program" amd i tell them no. No im not going to swim and all i get from them in return is "hahaha i talked to the swim coach, they want you" Do i really not get a say??? My coach is trying to GUILT me into college swimming. LET ME LIVE MY OWN DANG LIFE. Ive been swimming every single day since i was SIX with no more than two weeks off in August for a break. I just want someone to listen to my opinions. I dont care if id be the best on the team. I dont CARE if the coach really wants me. At this point im looking for schools that have NO team just so no one can condemn me when i dont swim. Sure ill do club swimming and go to the pool to keep in shape but im ready to let something else be my focus. Im ready for friends to be more important than whether or not im going to miss practice.
End rant.
