Choosing my College is Stressing me Out

from We’ll Get Better · host Ashlyn Arnold and Kensington Tallman

Trying to figure out how to choose a college can feel impossible, especially when you’re dealing with college decision anxiety, pressure from everyone around you, and the fear of making the wrong choice. If you’ve been asking what college should I choose or questioning if college is worth it, you need to hear this. This episode dives into what no one tells you about choosing between colleges, handling college rejection, and moving forward after being rejected from dream college. We break down real strategies for dealing with senior year anxiety, overthinking, and the pressure of planning your future when you feel completely stuck. You’ll also hear honest conversations about teen mental health, feeling lost about the future, and how to move forward even if nothing is going according to plan. From financial aid stress and scholarships advice to deciding between community college vs university and other post high school options, this is everything you need to start making a decision that actually feels right for you. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re running out of time… press play. 💓 Let’s Feel Better!!💓 ✨LOVE, ✨ Ashlyn 💋and Kensington💝 Follow Us: Instagram: /ashlynandkensington💋💝 Instagram: 💋/ashlynarnold_ 💝 /heykensington TikTok: / ashlynandkensington   LIFELINE SOURCES • Lifeline network: Available 24/7, call or text 988, or chat at https://988lifeline.org/ • Teen/Youth Help Line: Available 24/7, call 360-586-2777 to talk about peer pressure, bullying, depression, and more. https://crisis-clinic.org/youthhelpline/ • Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 https://www.crisistextline.org/ • The Trevor Project (LGBTQ youth): (866) 488-7386 https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ Text: ‘START’ to 678-678 for support • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Call or text 988 https://988lifeline.org/   DISCLAIMER: This podcast is produced by Manor House Entertainment Inc.
