Is it normal to feel completely overwhelmed by the thought of college?

I am going to be a senior in high school in the fall and I am so frightened of choosing/going through the college process. Is it normal to feel this way and not know what exactly to do?

Absolutely. You feel overwhelmed because you care and that’s the most important part.

Make good friends with the college counselor at your school. They are invaluable resources and will help you through every step. Good luck!

Yau it is I am also going to be a senior this year and kind of nervous about the whole college thing. Yes its very overwhelming too. Just make sure you get things turned in on time and just start looking at schools. I am feeling the same way you are feeling wow just hearing it from someone else made me feel better. Your not the only one!

i think that it is normal. when i was a senior in high school, i was completely overwhelmed by the idea of college, the important thing is that you do what you want when you decide on a college, go to a college that you would be comfortable at. visit a lot of colleges and do your research.

Sure it can be overwhelming, but it’s an amazing experience. I really became my “own” person when I went away to college. I gained my independence.

You will no longer be a kid anymore. If you are really close with your family, it’s going to be hard to break away, but my experience with enlightening. The overwhelmed feeling left me and the only time I felt like that again was at final exams.

Good luck in your college selection.

Yes, it’s normal. Studies show outrageous levels of stress that most students go through during the college application/decision process.
