Dear College Fears,
I’m applying to colleges right now and I’m so scared I won’t get into any of them. my grades and gpa are average, my extracurriculars are nothing stellar.I’m not sure that you can give me advice, but I’m completely terrified. I don’t think i can stand being around my parents for much longer.
You and I both honey, I know I shouldn’t be saying this but I am also scared shitless. You have to think about it this way, Have a fall back like a school you know you can get into, then have schools you think you will be able to get into, but you arent 100 percent sure, and last have a pipe dream aka a school that you wish you could go to (your dream school) just in hopes that maybe you will get in. This is my advice apply to a few schools (that are at least 45 mins to an hour away from your parents), Start doing some volunteer work, and remember you can ALWAYS transfer to a school you like more after a year of hard work and good grades. So, dont fret it will all work itself out. I promise. p.s. youre not alone, everyone of my friends and I are going through the college fiasco too.
