I understand how you feel.
My mom never let me have dogs growing up. She was afraid of them.
I'd also write essays, do soo much research, get good grades, not party, etc... and it seemed like nothing was good enough...
However, when I was 17, I got my first dog (trade: I didn't want a car)! Now I have four!
So it could happen. You just have to be patient.
Also, you might want to wait on getting a dog---i couldn't live in a dorm because I had a dog, I didn't get to experience "normal" college life because i was focused on my dogs... I wouldn't trade anything in the world for them...but it is something to consider.
