<p>You are on the cusp of adulthood. Congratulations on being aware of what you need to do to attend college next fall, so often we hear from the frustrated parents of HS seniors who choose to remain clueless and not embrace the process. You are actually ahead of the game in learning the ropes. Make use of the suggestions from parents here and check in with your HS guidance counselor to be sure you are jumpimg through all of the necessary hoops. Every week/month you will grasp another detail- sort of like taking one of your classes. Overwhelming if you look at all there is to learn in the semester/year, but not so if you break it down and learn it piece by piece. You will do fine and be ready for college next fall.</p>
