College

College, that word that stresses most seniors out.

Some kids already know where they’re going and have a full ride. While some kids have no idea what they even want to do after high school. Then you have the kids that will do nothing and still be in Avon Lake right where you left them doing the same bad things that basically messed up and took over their lives. But most of our class will be going off to college. If you haven’t sat and thought about it yet it is kind of a lot to take in. THIS IS OUR LAST YEAR HERE TOGETHER. Everyone says they hate high school but I’ve heard that once you leave and go off to college you’ll want to come back.

I know there are also a lot of kids that have to practically pay for college themselves so they have multiple jobs. That’s a lot of stress on one person. Trying to get through your last year here and applying for colleges then on top of it all working for hours a week for money.

Even though you might not know exactly what you want to do after high school its okay, because you have a lot of options. Some kids are staying around here going to community college for a year or two because it will be less expensive while others might wait a year to figure it out. The good thing about college though is that there are so many places and things you can major in. and you don’t have to be stuck with the first one you pick. I’ve heard that more than half the kids going into college end up changing their major within a year or two.
