May 1st is National College Decision filled with excitement and new college t-shirts for high school seniors. However, not everyone is going to their top choice college, and that is OK. Whether it is financial reasons, waitlist, or rejection, coping with the idea of going to a college that you're not as excited about is hard. Especially on May 1st, when it seems as though everyone is excited and 100 percent positive about their college decision.

But trust me, everything will be OK, even if you are not excited.

Trust me, everyone is nervous about college and even though one is going to their top choice does not mean they are going to love it.

Trust me, you can always transfer. If you get there and realize that it really isn't working for you, you can always transfer. No, it won't be the easiest thing in the world, but it is always an option. This isn't the decision that closes all other doors. Absolutely not.

Trust me, you were meant to go where you are going (everything happens for a reason).

Trust me, you will make the most out of your college experience– join extracurriculars to meet different people. Every school offers something unique and has so many different people just waiting to meet you.

Trust me, the name of the school will not matter if you have the drive and work ethic to be successful in life. It doesn't matter where you go, it matters what you do there.

Trust me, college will be some of the best 4 years of your life, regardless of where you end up.

Whether or not you are going to your top choice school, good luck Class of 2018.
