I Have Days until College Decision Day and I'm Lost

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

EVERYONE PICKED THEIR COLLEGE. I STILL HAVEN’T! I got great college offers, I just don't know which one to choose.. If you’re sitting on a college decision you’re not ready to make, torn between schools, stressed about the money, scared of moving across the country, or just watching everyone else commit while you still have no idea - this one is for you. We talk about what it actually feels like to be in this season. The financial pressure, the imposter syndrome, the fear of picking wrong. And we give you 5 things that actually helped us when it all felt like too much. Topics covered include how to decide between community college and dream school, what to do when you can’t afford your dream college, college decision stress tips for seniors, college decision day May 1st, imposter syndrome after getting into college, moving across the country for school, college financial aid help, how to pick the right college, and real college decision advice for teens. It’s okay if your old dream school isn’t your dream school anymore. It’s okay to not have it figured out yet. You just have to take the next step. What’s the one thing stressing you out most about your college decision? We want to know. 💓 Let’s Feel Better!!💓   ✨LOVE, ✨ Ashlyn 💋and Kensington💝   #collegedecision #collegedecisionday #collegedecisionstress #teenmentalhealth #highschoolsenior #senioryear #collegeanxiety #dreamschool #communitycollegeordreamschool #collegetips #impostersyndrome #collegeadvice #mentalhealth #collegefinancialaid #cantafforddreamschool #collegeapplications #collegesigningday #maydecisionday #highschoolseniors #collegedecisionhelp   CLICKABLE YOUTUBE CHAPTER TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Everyone Picked Their College.
