The Future

I know I'm not old. So many would scoff at a 21 year old even thinking as such, and I'm sure 10, 20, 30 years down the line, I'll be laughing at my 21 year old self for thinking such a thing.

I really can't help but feel that way though.

I'm entering my senior year of college and it's quite scary for several reason. For one, it really doesn't

I'm only sixteen (I'm sure 21 is much scarier) but I feel the pressure of actually getting into college. I know what I want to do and who I want to be but I'm scared to start thinking about how my life will be like twenty of thirty years from now. Be happy you got into college and actually stayed there (lol) and I hope you figure everything out.

Thanks, I hope you figure everything out too :)

I wouldn't stress too much about getting into college if I were you, I really believe that everyone puts too much pressure on teens to get into the "best" school. I decided to shoot "below" what I could get into (I had the grades for a really good school, but opted to apply to one easier to get into) and wound up with a nice scholarship. I'm glad I made this choice, I love my school :)

My brother just graduated and is going to the local community college because he's not too sure and didn't have the grades. He was feeling the pressure, but once my parents told him to just go to CC, he instantly felt less stress about the whole process and he's very excited for classes to start.

I really hope everything works out for you, and I hope applying for college doesn't drive you insane-save all the stress and worrying for when you have to cram for finals :)

Yeah alot of things do hit you in life once your in college. You shoudelnt feel scared of growing up because for the most part, you already took some responsibilitys upon yourself. Yeah I always wonder about getting a job after college. I kind of changed my major twice because of that feeling.
