<p>I'm sure this is the same for some of you, rightt?</p>
<p>Like right now, I'm sitting in biology & thinking about college. where am I going? What will I do there? Will I love it? Will I hate it? UNC chapel hill? or USC? But I love UNC....but I haven't seen USC... I don't know what to do, I think I'm obsessed with college? hahah not in like a weird way, it's just so daunting, may 1st is around the corner, IB exams and graduation closely following. ahh.</p>
<p>It's sooo confusing, and I'm SO done with high schoool. senioritis to the max (not on the slacking part obviously, but I just really wanna get out!).</p>
<p>I’m a mom here, but obsessing just the same. I do so worry that my son will:</p>
<p>1) regret his college choice; it wasn’t what he thought it would be<br>
2) realize the other offers were just as good or better than the one he chose<br>
3) get disappointed he’s at such a “big” name school and that he doesn’t stand out
4) miss his HS experience terribly and wish he had taken a gap year
5) have different priorities / major
6) want to transfer to one of the colleges that he turned down
7) find out he got off the WL. Then what???</p>
<p>My son doesn’t over think these scenarios, but I do and I wish I’d stop! He’ll be fine. That’s what I keep telling myself. Just wish I believed it.</p>
<p>^Don’t worry so much. You son really will be fine. If you avoid the College Life Forum, you’ll see that the majority of kids love where they go and transition rather quickly. Also, tons of college kids change their major multiple times throughout their four years. He’ll experiment and find out on his own what he really wants to do in life. </p>
<p>And although his other offers may be just as good or better than the one he chooses, once he settles in and makes great friends, he won’t be able to imagine himself anywhere else.</p>
