3 Major Things To Consider When Making Your Final College Decision

1. Comfort

The most crucial part of making a college decision is how the school makes you feel. It isn’t always possible to visit every school you get accepted to, but it is important to learn everything you can about the schools. What college to go to isn’t a decision one makes rashly. Many people end up going to colleges where they don’t feel like they belong or they can’t find their own friend group. College is about finding the real you and it isn’t possible to do that if you don’t feel like you belong at your school. You want to be able to find your true squad and that starts with finding your true college.

2. Money

Money is the second factor that comes into making your college decision. The amount of money you and your family can afford to spend on college is a limitation on the places you can go to college. Let’s face it college is expensive, and the sad truth is everyone can’t afford to go wherever they want. With that being said though it should be understood that just because a school is more expensive doesn’t mean it should just be instantly refused.

3. Future

The final consideration is how that college will help you in your career. Connections are what can secure jobs in this day and age. Every college is known for offering connections in different careers or just overall excelling in certain areas. If you are a person who wants to work in a certain field or in a certain part of the country/world each college poses a different level of usefulness to you. We make so many goals for ourselves and choosing the right college is the first step in reaching those goals.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
