I get really stressed when I think about college...to be honest I hate change, like the remodeling of the school, and college is defiantly going to be a HUGE change so I have to find some way to cope with it. I haven't started my applications yet, but I am today. I keep on prolonging on doing them because I don't want to write the college essays because I suck at writing. Its also kind of hard to find time do them, kinda. Especially during the school week. I have swim practice from 3-6:30 every night so by the time I get home, eat dinner, do my homework, I'm exhausted and want to go to bed. I also have practice 3 days a week at 6 in the morning so I defiantly don't want to stay up any later then I have to. On weekends I wanna get away from my busy schedule and just go hang out but now that applications are due soon the stress raises higher and higher. I haven't had that much pressure from my parents but I know I am expected to do them soon.
I also have the same problem as Jaclyn in a similar way. I'm defiantly not loaded with money and my parents may not pay that much at all for college. I work over the summer and in the winter life guarding to try and get some money saved up for college but of course that will not be enough. I wish I could get a scholarship in water polo or swimming but those are really hard to get. I also agree with Jaclyn on the scholarships. It seems like there are so many scholarships our there but when you see certain ones they only accept like 2 people from our area/state to get them and there are thousands of students who also trying to get this money. I know I'm going to college and I will probably be paying off loans in the future, but my parents didn't go to college so this is something I feel like I have to do to make my parents proud.
