ok, i'm 17 and going to be a senior in high school, as anyone whos been my age and in my situation knows its the most stressful time, haha. i'm trying to pick out colleges, worry about affording college, deal with saying goodbye to friends who are leaving for college along with saying goodbye to my boyfriend of almost a year whos going to college 3 hours away.
I just feel like everything is completly out of my control. like, alot of my friends are leaving, my boyfriends leaving, my parents are constantly on me about college and work and everything and i just feel completly alone. i dont know what to do to make it better. i just feel like my life spinning out of control and i cant get back into control of it. any help i would seriously really appreciate.. thanks guys :/
Well I understand, I'm going to college this fall and senior year definitely hit me the most. As far as friends, I hate to tell you this, but most of your high school friends won't last... I've seen and heard that those who you meet in college are most probably the ones who will be friends with you your whole life. If it's any consolation, there's always Instant Messaging, phones, texts, etc. About affording college, you can apply to financial aid (FAFSA) and make sure to visit or e-mail your school's college counselor A LOT for any questions haha because that's what they're there for.
The reason your parents are on you is because they want to see you succeed in life. No offense to anyone, but most parents want their children to have a career that makes money, so their children won't starve to death, end up homeless, or work their butts off in the future making minimum wage. So for now, just let them know you have it ALL under control, show them, and maybe they'll back off but remember to not slack off lol...
If you and your bf love eachother, I believe visits and texts/ phone calls can work out... "Love knows no boundaries", and I believe it... You will miss him, vice versa, but if you two plan to spend the rest of your lives together, you just have to think of how you will have your whole lives to make up for those years of college spent apart, although during free time he can visit... just make sure to let him know the relationship should be monogomous ;) unless you two decide to break up
I think for now, build memories, make em last, cherish them, and take pics :D
All this stress can be overwhelming, but take it one day at a time, enjoy life and trust me it will all be worth it :D
