I'm a sophomore in high school...and I'm really..scared. I don't know what to do with my life!..I don't even know the college process..how do I apply? How do I apply for financial assistance? What's a major/minor? I don't know which classes to pick when I get to college..I don't know what I want to be when I grow up..Can someone help me figure all of this college stuff out? Thanks so much.
Well, i'm a senior in high school, and i've applied to all the colleges now, and i'm waiting for their responses...and i'm STILL scared.
It's cool to be scared, just take a breather, and remind yourself before anything else, that no matter what; you'll live after high school ends.
First off, just focus on working your butt off right now as a sophomore, and then when you become a junior, make sure you do good in your classes as well.
Then, when you want to apply to colleges (i decided to apply to University of California system), you simply start researching the schools you may want to go to.
Take your time to think about what you want to do with your life, regardless of money, and define it a little. Hopefully you have school college counselors. They should have like books that talk about all the professions, and then colleges that major in those professions.
A major is like...the desired topic of study in high school. I want to major in aerospace engineering, so my college education will focus on the classes that apply to aerospace engineering. A minor is like...a backup major (in my opinion at least).
I don't know which classes to pick IN college either, but the college itself will help guide you through which classes you'll need for the profession you choose. As for picking classes in high school, make sure you pick the "college prepatory" classes over anything else (as in, colleges will recognize that the class teaches you something)
If you want to talk about the process more, i would love to help. Just ask me anything or talk to me =) It's complicated, but after a while you start to understand it.
