Choosing a college is more difficult than I thought it would be. When I was younger, I thought it would be really easy, but not anymore. Holy crap, I didn’t realise how many things you actually have to take into consideration.

Things such as location, size, and population. Another undeniably important thing is cost, like can you actually afford to pay 100k a year in tuition, plus the cost to live for the next four years? Compared to the beginning of high school, my expectations for out-of-state college have slowly diminished, and I am more inclined to stay in-state.

If you do find a college you like and that suits you, and you believe you can afford, there is also the acceptance rate. Yes, you might like college, but does the college like you? Out of the x number of people who apply, what exactly makes you special? There are plenty of people who have the same classes and extracurriculars as you, so why would they pick you?

Honestly, I think I might just be overthinking everything. I’ll definitely find a college that I like and that is affordable. The worst that can happen is, I get rejected by everyone, but that won’t completely happen…. right?
