Ive heard of a mid-life crisis, but not at age 17. Am I overreacting? Theres only one answer to that.
Absolutely.
Having said that, I cant help but to freak out when its almost February of the year that I will enroll as a freshman in college and I have only been accepted to one, so far.
Im not blogging on this topic to complain, or even for advice, because I know that any reasonable adult or peer of mine would politely tell me to calm down with complete reassurance that Im a smart girl.
Instead, I bring this topic up with the intent to share my distress with other high school seniors that are struggling as much as I am, dealing with the stress brought upon us as a result of the overwhelming process that is college.
After stepping on to campuses of about 10-15 schools, I selected the ones that caught my eye and offered the best possible programs for what I wish to pursue. I included several factors in my decision to apply to each college or university, but now I wonder if I considered them closely enoughthis is where the major freak out comes into play.
Am I really going to be happy any of the places I applied? (Provided I even get accepted)
I visited so many beautiful schools possessing qualities of a college I would come to admire, but I never got that Holy s*** I have to go here feeling when I got out of the car to venture off to catch a glimpse of the college life.
And I want that feeling, I want to be a thousand-million-trillion percent sure that Im going to love attending college while getting the best possible experience (and education) out of the practically thousand-million-trillion dollars its going to cost to go there.
So now what? At this point, theres nothing I can do but hope for the best. *Sigh*
