College: definitely something to look forward too...unfortunately, the process takes over your first semester giving you little chance for relaxation. For the past 6 months, the Aragon High School senior class has been awaiting the day where every single form, for every single school's application is turned in.
It's amazing what a hold College can have on you. It can cause stress of a brand new level and cause people to ask a significant amount of questions till they think their college councelors' minds will implode.
One other thing...make it clear to your parents that the college process now is a total polar opposite than what it was when they were applying to college. Think about it: some of those parents worked their way through college. Even if I work two jobs, I couldn't pay a fraction of room and board. Can you say "Financial Aid?"
No one but you and your peers will understand what you are going through. The greatest advice I can give is talk to your counselors about the application process; talk to your peers about the application stress.
