With the official college decision day coming up, is anyone else constantly having anxiety and wondering if they are making the right choice? Neither of my final two schools were one of my top choices at the time of applying, but both are certainly good options. I’m not in love with either one and question if I will be able to have success and fit in at the school I ultimately choose. I see many other seniors who seem to be utterly obsessed and in love with their future school… Am I the only one feeling this anxiety and self-doubt?
Ha Ha, no. Half the students I know are in a terrible funk.
Make up your mind that it will be great. Find something new about your school that your never knew before - a club, a sport, free films on Fridays. Wear the t-shirt. My daughter really liked the school she chose, but after orientation she loved it, wanted to move in and start (it was June). She’d found some activities she didn’t know about (club hockey), signed up for a pre-move in bike trip (so she got to move in early), met a few people at orientation (she only knew 2 kids going to that school, from her Kindergarten class).
It will work, but it will be a lot more fun it you go with the right attitude. Love it. It’s the best school for you.
No, my friend. You are certainly not alone! I am very apprehensive too. At this point, maybe you should make a pro/con list. Consider things like location, academics (reputation), fit, etc. In addition, try to research what you can.
I’m sorry that your final two options were not your top. But if there is something that I have learned, you can’t be regretful once you come to a final decision. Just make your experience the best you can - it’s your college experience. If it really proves to be a faulty choice, you can always transfer (if that’s a possibility for you).
Hakuna Matata. Whatever decision you make will be the best for you.
Good luck!
I suppose a lot of people feel this, whether you get into your dream school or not. I got into mine (UCB) but couldn’t afford it (out of state tuition should be a crime…) But at the end of the day, I think you should be happy at where you end up. Sure I was bummed about not being able to go to UCB, but I’ve happily accepted a full-ride to Emory 
What I’m saying is, don’t worry about the self-doubt, I’m sure you’ll be over it soon.
