Two more weeks of waking up early and having to go to a place that you absolutely hate, 5 more minutes you tell yourself every morning before getting up to got to high school. Finals are coming up and graduation gowns are being ordered, your classmates are all super excited about the college they are going to be attending this upcoming fall and you still have no idea where you are going. You have received a couple of acceptance letters, but how are you going to pay for college? What if you are never able to attend college? What if you don't get any scholarships? What if at the end of 4 years you don't complete your degree?

In this time of year tension, stress, and feelings of excitement rise in teens graduating high school. These feelings increase with the thought of actually graduating and facing the real world. Many teens close their options and focus on going to a four year university when in reality they could do many other things. These things involve joining the army, the navy, the air force, attending a vocation school, a two year community college, getting employed full time, a four year university, and many other things. Teens feel like their options are limited when in reality they are only expanding. Teens that are going through this are teens that feel overwhelmed with tense with the thought of college, scholarships, and graduation.

If you are a teen going through this first breath, everything is going to be alright. If you are unsure what you want to do in the future talk to an advisor, talk to your parents, and hear that little voice inside of you reaching for your life goals and dreams. If you feel like taking a year off to learn about the world and experience than go ahead college will wait for you. Do not get frustrated and do not get discouraged with your ideas. Some people know exactly what they want to do after graduating and others don't. You are not the only one and you are sure not going to be the last one. Have fun, be cautious, and remind yourself that you can be what ever you want to be.
