Applying to College

I wish someone told me to start thinking about the college process a long long long time ago. I felt I could could have picked up another class here and there and an extracurricular if I had known at the start of high school. I also wish someone told me to start the application process earlier. I turned in all my applications however I think I was more stressed then I should have been since I waited to turn them in within the last week before the deadline. The advice I would give to upcoming seniors is to START THINKING ABOUT THE PROCESS EARLY. This is a must. It'll give you more time to outline who you are while not under a lot of stress due to upcoming deadlines. Lastly, I am most excited about going to college is to be on my own. Make all my own decisions and not constantly have to tell somebody where I am going or why. FREEDOM!!
