Ugh College!!

I would wish that I was a senior throughout all of high school. I was looking at colleges since my freshmen year, I was so excited to start the college process. However, now that it's really here I'm like never mind. The process of getting into college is so stressful and overwhelming. I would already have to stay up late of actual school work and now I have to barley or sometimes not even any sleep just to make sure I finish my applications so I have so hope I'll get into college. I don't think its right to have to worry about what you're doing senior year; for example, you have to maintain a good GPA, get good grades, do well on the SAT/ACT, etc. It just isn't fair! You can ask any senior you know and they will most likely say the same thing...that they hate the college process. Everyone's life is already stressful why do you have to go and add more stress to it?

Your future is on the line in these applications...its make or break time I like to call it. November first really? Like how did that date get created? Its just ridiculous. Its like colleges don't know that seniors have other things to do in their life besides work on college applications. Personally I think the date should be around Thanksgiving or Christmas break, that would make everyones life less stressful than it already is and probably the extra written sections on the applications will be better because people will have more time and I know a lot of people were rushing to just get it submitted on time. Now that this college stuff is all happening, it now making me think about having to kind of live on my own and that scares me so much to be honest. I cant even really do things on my own right now, how am I suppose to go from having so much support to not having any or very little? It just doesn't make any sense!
