It’s actually September. A month ago we were enjoying out summer vacation, and now we’re already into the third week of school. Time is going by incredibly quickly, and one thing is constantly nagging at my mind: College.
There is so much preparation that’s needed to find the perfect college and if you’re like me, it can all become extremely overwhelming. With after school jobs, extra curricular activities, and AP classes galore, it seems as though I’ll never have time to get everything done. It’s pretty scary.
The thing is, we’ve all got our own things going on. We’re all in the same boat. College is an exciting prospect and it’s also a stressful one. Nobody is alone. There are several options for life after high school. Maybe community college is a good choice for you. It’s a great way to get your basics and transfer after two years which can save a lot of money. But possibly, a university is the right first step for you. Jump right into the full college experience.
I’m not sure where I’m going to attend school yet, but I do know that it will 1) be a 4-year university and 2) be in state. I’ve never been a huge fan of Arkansas , but I’d like to stay in state to make life easier on myself. My parents will still be around if I ever need them for anything but I’m still able to be my own person and live my own life.
It’s a scary idea that in less than a year us seniors will have already began our freshman year at college. All the scholarship and application information feels like too much too handle. How am I going to pay for college? Where am I going to go? Are my scores good enough? These questions are on most of our minds. The thing to remember is we’ve got to keep our heads up and not worry ourselves too much. We have one more year of high school to make the best of our lives.
