"So where are you going to colllege?" Right when I turned to senior status last summer that was all I heard from everyone I talked to, friends, neighbors, parents friends, and family, they all wanted to know and I started to notice the more I heard the question, the most I questioned myself. Those seven words made me think "Where do you see yourself being one year from now?" and back then I had zero clue where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do, But I didn't have forever to figure it out.
When you hit senior year make sure you know how to answer that question, not for other peoples knowledge but for yourself. You need to figure out where you want to go as soon as possible, go on some college visits and look around at in state schools and out of state. When you figure that out then start to apply to the colleges you could picture yourself being at, get some good recommendation letter from your teachers and spend a good amount of time writing your college essays. The sooner you do all of that the sooner you will know where you will be going to school the on coming fall. Make sure you do not wait till days before the cut off day to do these things because you will regret it. College is a big deal, and you have to work to get into college. If you can make it to graduation you can make it to college.
