In college I'm looking forward to watching football games, meeting new people and being on my own. Im looking forward to this because it will be a point in my life where I'm on my own pretty much. I'm looking forward to football games because I love the environment they carry and I like the sport a lot. Lastly, I'm excited to meet new people because the people I meet in college can take me to many different places or even be lifelong friends.

In college I am looking forward to venturing out of my comfort zone and meeting new people and learning to live on my own. I want to learn the life my mom learned in college and enjoy all of the experiences she said she had. I also want to go to a school where football is a big part of the culture and on Saturdays I always have something to look forward to. Most important I am looking forward to learning how to balance school and fun. (86)

I think the thing that scares me about college is having to pay for it. I know there are so many ways to pay for college like fafsa,scholarships, and grants but I’m scared that moving out will be pricey. I hope that I’m able to work on campus to help pay for living expenses but thinking about that stresses me out. My dad always told me to focus on my studies because he had a job in college and it was hard for him. So I hope I do what is best for me and my future.(98 words)

I believe I want to venture out of state when it comes to college. I do realize it might be more expensive, but I really want to be independent and learn how to do things on my own. I believe it will be difficult, but definitely worth it and doable. By living on my own I will be able to learn new things and meet new people. I want to be able to meet new people and explore new places, all while expanding my knowledge and education.  (87 words)

What scares me the most about college is not knowing what to do in life. I don't want to be this lost and confused girl, I want to be successful in my academics and not worry about school financially. I get worried that I won't know where to go or what to do. I feel like I would lose myself trying to balance school, money and personal life. I pray to God that I can help my family one day and not lose the connection we have because of distance.

I would like to stay in California but would only go out of state if it's on the west coast. I like living near a big city that has lots of things to do and don’t want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn’t mind going out of state but I would have to stay on the west coast because I want to be close enough to home so that  it's not a long flight and so I can make it in one day back to my house.

Some goals that I hope to accomplish in college that I couldn't in high school are being more involved and getting leadership roles. When I go to college, I would like to venture out and do things like attend events and push myself to take on roles that I would have otherwise not taken now. This is important to me because it would help me meet new people and give me the experience I want. (75)

For my future in college, I would like to venture out of state. Living in another state sounds nice to me, plus I also want to have an apartment in college, and I don't believe I'll be able to afford an apartment in another state.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that what scares me the most about college is probably that I'll be in a whole new environment. I might not know a single person at the college I'm at, and I'll have to make new friends all over again. I find myself to be a social person, and I think I would struggle with being alone in college. I've never had a problem talking to new people, but doing so in a new place with completely new people may prove to be a bigger challenge than I think it would be. (97)

What I'm looking forward to most in college is the chance to experience new things. The hope is to go to a major D1 school and being able to experience things like football games and other sorts of things. I hope to play basketball or volleyball in college as well. Another things I am exitied for is the chance to meet new people, take classes I want to take, study in a major of my choice, and experience and explore where I will end up.

What I look forward to most in college is being independent. I wanna feel like I have everything in control, even when it's stressful, because I like learning from what makes me become a better me. I also look forward to living by myself. I know when the moment comes, I'll feel nervous or scared, but I want to do stuff by myself and create memories with new people. But what I expect from college is something coming out of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not really have a good idea of what kind of career I would like to pursue, nor can I think of any specific or significant goal that I want to achieve in the future, so one of the things that scare me the most about college is trying to find an answer there, spend a ton of money and time, and then not end up finding anything or ending up more lost than before.

# data[].attributes.body
From looking around and just exploring school I believe that I want to stay in-state for college. I want to stay in state for many reasons. I want to be close to family so if they need anything I am there to help them. I also just love California and love being near the beach, and I just love the weather here. Out of state is just way too expensive for tuition, and just to move all my stuff out there is just way to much for me. (89)

# data[].attributes.body
What scares me most about college is figuring out the classes and the school's layout. I think that for your first week or two, you don't know where you are. Another thing that scares me about college is the workload. If I fall behind in high school, I'll need to change a lot to not fall behind in college. Another thing that scares me is living in a dorm room. I think that it really depends on your roommates.

# data[].attributes.body
What I'm looking forward to the most in college is meeting new people. I want to meet people who either have the same major as me or anyone who has a different major to see the difference in how college life is to us. I also look forward into being more independent. I know that in college there aren't that many people to help guide you so I want to learn how I will manage college life and studies by myself and still be successful. (85 words)

I'm really looking forward to the clubs and activities in college. I'm hoping whatever college I end up going to has good clubs and campus activities that I can participate in. The clubs I'm looking to join consist of sewing, music, and / or jewelry. I know that my friend is really into sewing, so if I can find a club we could both join, that would be great. I love music, so if I could find a music club to join, I think I would fit in well and be able to contribute a lot to the club. I love making jewelry and wearing it, so if I could find a jewelry-making club, it would be really cool. (118)

In college I'm looking to go out of state because I want to experience the world and different things. I dont wanna stay in the same town my entire life or state. I wanna meet new people, explore and travel around while I have time to. I also wanna go out of state because a lot of the schools are bigger and seem like they are in nice locations. Lastly, I wanna go out of state because I wanna be able to live by myself or in a dorm to know how that life is.

What scares me the most about college is not knowing exactly what I want to do and what career to pursue. I know you can attend a college undeclared but I am scared that when the time comes, I will be lost and/or unhappy with what major I am in. I have heard stories of people who spend years majoring in something they ended up not liking and I fear that that could be me in the future. (79)

Something that scares me most about colleges is, wasting my time somewhere where I am not interested in. At this time I still don't know what career I want to pursue and that's why I am scared that I will go somewhere where I might not like, or enjoy. Sometimes I do feel like I am under the pressure of going to a university right away after high school, because I don't want to waste time in college. (78 words)

What scares me the most about college is not knowing what to do. This goes for not knowing what to major in, not knowing who to ask for help or not knowing where to go. I know i'm going to walk into college super confused and super scared even after I've visited the college. I'm also scared i'm going to waste mine or my mom's money on classes and the school in general. I don't want to go to college and waste all that money just to not pursue a career in the field I chose or to choose classes then switch them all because I chose to switch my major and i'm letting all that money go to waste.

I look forward to it a lot. I can’t wait to see what I am able to do in college and what I'm able to achieve. When I'm in college I really want to be doing my best and to be doing the things I want to do. When I get to college I want to be able to say I’m doing my best and to be able to have my grades and what I do after college speak for how good I did in college. (86)

The thing that scares me the absolute most about college is keeping up with the workload and knowing the material. This scares me because I know colleges have a lot of information to take in and remember, and I want to be able to succeed greatly in all the courses I take while still enjoying my college experience.

# data[].attributes.body
What scares me the most about college is failing. Failing is a big part of life but a lot of the time it’s the worst part of life. I want to just so badly prove to myself I was able to do something on my own and prove to others that when I’m done with college that I achieved what I wanted to achieve. Another thing I’m scared for is just being at an all time low and not being able to pick myself up from it and to keep myself up from it. (94)

# data[].attributes.body
What scares me the most about college is how I am going to have to pay for it. I don’t want to take my parents money and I don’t want to take out a big loan for school. I would maybe do 2 years at moorpark and the transfer to a 4 year college because that is what my brother did and he saved a lot of money. I don’t want to stress about money in college because the I will have to get a job and then have to focus less on school and more on my job. (99)

# data[].attributes.body
When I go to college I would want to go out of state. I want to explore a new state or city and have a feel of new people around the country. I know it would be expensive to move out of state but also I feel as if it would be more expensive in the state especially in California to live and attend a college. Also, the major I want to study is more common outside of California and there are better schools outside of this state.

# data[].attributes.body
When I go to college, right now I want to go out of state. But I am open to in-state as well. I want to go out of state to an East Coast, southern, or Northeast school. I’ve never been on that side of the country before, so I think it would be cool to explore and get the experience of living there. The benefits of staying in California though is the weather and close to family.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I would want to stay in the state for my college journey. California can be a big and small place, with universities having many different majors. California also has some of the best universities in the country. I don't see a reason for me to go out of state when I have all I need here. Going out of state would be too expensive for me; I'd rather stay here and have my Cal grant and other financial aid services exclusive to California. But besides cost, I want to stay relatively close. And going out of state would put me far away in a new state where I know nobody. So when I put all these different factors combined, I would rather stay in-state for college. (135)

# data[].attributes.body
The thing that scares me the most about going to college is leaving everything behind. I am scared of leaving all my friends to travel into a place where I know nobody. I am excited to meet these new people however it is still scary to leave behind the place I've lived in for 16 years. I know college will be fun and I will be just fine but i am scared to deal with leaving everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
I would definitely want to stay in the state. I have always wanted to go to school in Orange county or Los Angeles. I think living there would be very fun. My siblings always told me their experiences of going to school in Orange county and they loved it so much. They love it so much that they are staying there. Whenever I visit my siblings it’s so fun because there is so much food to try and places to go.(81 words)

# data[].attributes.body
I think that something that scares me the most is not being able to go to college with someone I know. Going to a new school somewhere else can be really difficult, and I know that because I've experienced it before. Although I managed to make new friends eventually, it took a while and was nerve racking meeting new people. I'm also scared about how I'm going to pay for college. College can be very expensive, and I'm worried I won't have a way to pay for it. (88)

What scares me the most about college is that I wont succeed and that the workload will be too much for me. I want to do well and succeed in my classes. I am also afraid that I will overall hate the college experience. I am scared that I will hate my school, hate my roommate, or just hate the environment that I am in. This scares me because I know that if I do end up hating it, I wont be able to do anything about it.

I would like to have an answer to the question “How do I know which college I want to go to?” before the end of my junior year. I hear a lot of people talking about hoping they get into their dream college, or wanting to go study in this country or this place, and I just don’t get it. How do you decide on a specific place to study in? How is that place so different from where you are now, and why that place out of everything? What’s so great about that college that you dream of attending there? I think questions like this would be nice to know an answer to, especially if I’m going to have to start applying to colleges soon after the end of this year.

# data[].attributes.body
The thing that scares me the most about going to college is having to pay so much money.  I know there are plenty of ways to get money by grants and other things, but I'm just scared how much its going to cost all 4 years and where I'm going to get it from.  One thing I am scared about is living on my own and not having anyone near me to help out.  Life ahead is scary to think about and I'm going to be on my own for a little bit so it's going to be scary, but im going to have to overcome it (108)

# data[].attributes.body
I believe I would want to stay in California, but not close to home, because I want to learn how to do things by myself and be independent. Also, I wouldn't want to be really far so I can come and see my family on the weekends. I think that I would also want to live in California because I like the weather here, and I think it would take a lot of time to get used to a whole other state's weather. I would also like to live in the state because you get to know more about your state, and you get to explore new places you've never been to before.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm looking forward to being able to experience college basketball games and football games; and being able to live close enough to classes and having access college activity's. Something else to look forward to about college is having the ability to be on my own but also have the option to not. I can't wait to be able to meet new people at a college and furthering my career. I'm also looking forward to being able to be in control of my own things. (84)

# data[].attributes.body
Something that scares me about college is being more independent. Then I say independent. I mean being more reliable in dealing with living on my own and making sure I am making good enough money to stay on top of taxes. Since I will not be living close to home I won't have my mom and dad to be right there to help me. I will have to take care of bills, healthy food, and gas while going to school and having a job.

# data[].attributes.body
What scares me the most about college is the time it takes many people to complete college and the cost of college itself. I’m worried about how I will pay for it and if it will even be doable. I am also worried that I will “choose the wrong major" and realize when it’s too late and I am stuck with it forever. I’m scared that I won’t enjoy it and just become stressed 24/7. (76 words)

I believe that for college I want to venture to an out of state university. I want to learn how different other states are from California and maybe meet people from other states who had the same thoughts that I did when wanting to go to an out of state school. I also want to live in different weather and I really just want to see a change in how I live my life. It may be more expensive but I want to learn how to live on my own and learn the difficulty of being away from my family for long periods of time. I also want to go to a university in a nice city or town and see the difference it has from Camarillo and the surrounding areas. (131)

# data[].attributes.body
In college, I'm looking forward to being on my own the most. I'll have more freedom and I'll be able to go off of my own schedule and not my mom's or my siblings, or anyone else's. Right now I have to go off of their schedules too so I don't get home when I think I will and I may not have as much time to do things. I'm excited for when I get into college because then, when I plan my days out, they will actually go to plan. I'm also excited to pick out my own schedule and when I want my classes because it'll just make it so much easier for me. (116)

# data[].attributes.body
I am most scared of how much I will pay in college. I know college is expensive and there are many things you need to pay for. I know there are scholarships and financial aid that could help me but I'm scared it wont be enough. I just hope I earn enough money through jobs and be able to pay my studies without worrying about getting into too much debt. I also hope I get good scholarships and help before I can attend college and I will start to manage how I will spend the money I earn. (98 words)

I want to stay in this state. I feel I would get home sick very easily and if I'm really far and not able to come home whenever then I think I would get really unmotivated very easily. If I were to go out of state I would still stay pretty close to home. I wouldn’t  go too far and I feel my opinion has changed about this a lot. If you would have asked me this maybe a year ago I would’ve said I wanted to go far from home but now that I see how it can really be I would rather stay close to home. (108)

Did I heal myself mentally, physically and spiritually or did I let the world consume who I am as a person or did I let my fears take control of me. I hope that I didn't allow anyone to step on me and make me feel less than about myself as well as feel like I didn't belong. I pray that I stepped out of my comfort zone to become the best version of myself and not let anyone tell me what I can or can't do with my life. Also, I expect to become an academic weapon and that my relationship with the people around me and myself has healed and hopefully I started with track n field.

Some goals I want to achieve during college that I couldn’t accomplish during high school are becoming more involved with my community, being myself, and focusing on myself more. I’ve noticed that in my journey in high school that I’m not as involved with my community than I should be. I want to change that. Also, in college I want to actually express myself instead of being someone else just for the sake of what others would think. I also want to just focus on myself more instead of worrying more about others because how can I help others if I can’t help myself. This is one thing I want to accomplish in my college years.

I believe that I want to stay in-state for college. I have always wanted to go somewhere out of my city, but somewhere in the state because I would like to be close to family and friends. Staying in-state would also be cheaper for me with the financial aid I would potentially receive from cal grants and other services and I could receive the support I need if I really needed it. However, I am open to going out of state because I would love to explore and meet new people from different states. (94)

Something that scares me the most about college is choosing the wrong majors. By this I mean what if I don't end up liking what I chose to major in when I first started college. There's so many things that I would like to do but I just don't know what I want for the rest of my career.

Something that I am looking forward to the most in college is to socialize more, meet new people, explore the new environment, and getting out of my comfort zone. A lot of people say they get out of their comfort zone and are able to socialize more when they get to college. I'm not sure if its because they grow out of being shy or just take that big push since they're out in college, but I am looking forward to being more outgoing maybe going to at least a football game.

What scares me the most about college is the cost and the new environment I will be put in. Even though leaving home sounds fun, I know that I could struggle being away from home. Although there are many ways to get parts of your college paid for such as financial aid, fasfa, grants etc, it is still very expensive. I know when Im at college I can work a job, but if Im playing a sport, it will be hard to find time and make money.

The biggest thing I am looking forward to in college is probably meeting new people. Although it may scare me a bit, I like the challenge of talking to and meeting new people. In college, I'll get to meet people from across the country, especially since I'll be going to a California college. I'll meet people from different backgrounds and races, maybe even people from outside the country. And so, although it may be tricky, it's also exciting, and meeting new people is what I look forward to the most in college. (107)

What scares me the most about college is the prices and if the school I would want to go to would be held away from me because of having not enough to pay for it.

I'm also scared about how it'll work out with balancing a social life and academics at the same time. (76)

One thing in college that i am looking forward to is the sports life and the party life.  Yes, I know that you have to put in a lot of effort for your work, but taking a break and going to tail gates and going to parties just sounds so fun.  I want to have a real college life and go have fun and meet new people.  Football games are probably the best part of college, just experiencing the student life would be so fun.(86)

# data[].attributes.body
Goals I wish to accomplish in college that I couldn't accomplish in high school are being a lot more involved in activities, clubs, and maybe getting a leadership position.

Even if college is scary to me right now, and when I’m actually there some bad things might happen, I’m sure that the good things that happen will make up for it all.

One question I would like to be answered before the end of junior year is "how do I know I'm choosing the right college and major and career for me?" I am super indecisive about everything.

Some things that I wish I am able to achieve in college that I wouldn't be able to achieve in high school isn't really academic based. Its about being more social, going out to football games, because a lot of people tend to hype them up for a reason. I've never been to one because I just think I rather stay home and watch movies. When I get to college I would most definitely like to attend a few just to see. Even go to the ones in high school to see what the hype is about. (97 words)

I want to be able to create a new lifestyle for myself. That is what I’m looking forward to.(85 words)

The most I am looking forward to in college is finding myself, traveling the world, singing and acting as well as meeting new people. I am looking forward to this because then I would want to see if I prepared myself for the world and was ready to be on my own. Even though it sounds scary it's also gonna be something great and I pray that God and my family will be proud of the women I am becoming. Furthermore, even though college is 2 years away time goes by fast and I hope that with the time I have left I can prepare myself for the future and become well educated to help myself, my family and those in need.

What scares me the most about college is falling behind. Everyone tells me college should be fun but it will also be very challenging. So I am scared to get behind on things and not be able to come back from it. I am also scared to begin my journey for applying, scholarships and living expenses that I will begin to have to worry about as I get closer to going to college. One last thing I am scared about is not being close to the person I am put in a dorm with. If I want to go out of state it is unlikely that I will know anyone else attending that school and I will have to hope I get someone I enjoy to live with my first year. (131)

What scares me the most about college is the cost and how I would get the money and how I would get the money back. College is a lot of money and I would need aid to not go in debt. Also getting the money back would take a while if my furture job or current job in College do not pay well. Finally, if I played Baseball in College it would be almost impossibke to have a job knwing that Baseball is a commitment and I still have school work.

A goal I want to achieve in college that I can't in high school is traveling the world. I want to go out on my own and travel to new places. This has been my dream since forever. I want to get out of Camarillo and explore everything the world has to offer me. It might be scary but there's nothing I want to do more than to travel the world and discover new things.

A question that I would like to have answered the most before my junior year has to be about financial aid. I'm not familiar with the process, nor do I know much about how much it would give me. So I have a lot of questions about the financial aid process for college. I don't have a specific question, since, like I said, I don't know a lot about it. But the closest I have to a specific question would be, How does the financial aid process work? It's a broad question, but it's the best I can give right now with the little knowledge I have about this topic. (140)

I have many goal I hope to achieve before entering college. Before I go to college I hope to be one of the top volleyball and basketball players in the county and get scholarships for them. I hope to get accepted into most of the colleges I want to attend. Before I leave I am hoping to get my gpa up and make some more money so that I can pay for some more of my college expenses.

In college, I hope I can be able to do more things then I have in high school. Everyone knows going in clubs throughout high school looks good for yourself, and I never have so I wanna take advantage of the amazing clubs colleges have to offer no matter which college I were to go to. Instead of still having to learn the basics in high school in college I'll finally be able to excel my learning. (77)

I am most looking forward to being on my own and autonomous. I used to be scared of being away and alone but the thought of going out freely and making new connections with others makes me excited for what the future has in mind for me. I want to learn how to maintain my own place, cook for myself, and create a daily routine. I am also looking forward to all the events my school has to offer. (79).

I am not exactly sure where I want to go for college. I am okay with staying in California or close to my home because It will be cheaper and easier. I am also okay with going out of state because I want to be traveling anyways and I like going to places I've never been. Going out of state also just gives me an even bigger opportunity to be independent and on my own. (75)

A question I have about the admissions process is how long does it take to fill out an application. How does financial aid work. If you have lots of scholarships that give you more money then your tuition do you get that money back? Is FAFSA and financial aid the same thing? What do I need to know before applying to any schools? When should I start to apply for scholarships? These are all questions I want to hopefully know the answer to. (87)

# data[].attributes.body
Questions I still have about applications, financial aid or admissions. A question I have about the admissions process is how long should you spend on each application because you're gonna be doing many different apps for colleges. I also still wanna know how you can get more financial aid. How do you even apply for it or even receive the money for college? Lastly, I would like to know how many applications you should submit to schools.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the questions I still have about application, financial aid, and admissions processes are: What is the best thing to include in my application that'll make me stand out to the person reading my application? How can I make my essay more persuasive and speak to the admissions officer on a more personal level to elevate my chances of being accepted? Lastly, what can I do to recive financial aid that doesn't involve owing debt?

In college I hope to accomplish more involvement and time management. College has a lot of opportunities to be a leader and I hope I can take advantage of that. It also has a busier schedule for students and managing their week and time is harder. Right now in high school I don't have good time management and that is very crucial because you need to show how well you can manage time so I want to improve on that. (80 words)

I would like to go out of state just because I think it would be cool. The only problem for me is that I don't know what to major in and like I said before I don't want to waste money or time. I don't want to be far away from my family also, because I am scared of being in a new place where I am new. But also trying new things can also get me out of my comfort zone. (82 words)

Something I'm looking forward to in college is getting to know more about myself and how to live on my own. I'm also looking forward to the activities like football games, basketball games, and soccer games. I am also looking forward to meeting new people and finding new friends. Also looking forward to the opportunities and chances I get with anything. And to have fun and enjoy the experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Some goals that i hope to achieve in college that i was not able to achieve in high school was finding the right friends group for me.  Freshman and sophomore year i was really hanging out with the right people and i wasn't really myself. I would kinda change myself for other people and i wouldn't be making the right decisions.   I also want to be more productive with my community and just help people in need.(78)

I believe I want to venture out of state because I want to experience being on my own while still keeping some connection to my family. I want to be close enough that I can visit them when it really matters, but not so close that I can just run to them on a random Monday. By creating this balance, I’ll gain more freedom, independence, and responsibility while still having their support when I need it most.(77)

# data[].attributes.body
In college I hope to achieve a lot more academically. I hope to do well in all the courses that I take and I also hope to do well in leadership roles. I hope I can get more involved in activities because I am not as involved currently as I would like to be. I am hoping to get more involved and I will try for the next 2 years. I am also hoping to meet more different kinds of people and experience different cultures and places.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to go out of state but I believe there'll be no difference for me since I'd be busy no matter what and visiting family would be a thing I'd try to do once or twice a month. Going out of state would show me the more diverse amount of people in the world instead of staying in California when there could be better benefits out of state then what I would get staying.(75)

Something I am most looking forward to in college is probably being able to live on my own and make new friends. Personally, I am a very social person and love talking to people. If I believe I am going to like the person, or think we will get along, I have no fear in going up and talking to them. I am also excited to live on my own just to see what it would feel like and how I'd live with no help. I mean, maybe with some roommates we will all see how we can live together, but personally, I'd like to see how I do.

Although I love California and think it's a beautiful state, I would love to venture out and explore more states and different colleges. I would be scared to venture out, but I think it'll end up fine in the end if I do decide to go out of state. The reason I say that when I decide is because I don't fully know if I want to go in-state or out of state. But I do believe there is a big chance for me to be going out of state.

Something that scares me the most about college is having the classes be too hard, then me dropping out and not graduating. This has been my fear for a little while now, but how would I know I would be able to graduate if the classes are too hard? Overall, I am pretty scared of college, especially because of that fact. I am sure I will do well in college, though. Something I can do to help my nerves is talk to someone in college and listen to their advice.

The thing I look forward to most about college is being more independent for the first time and really getting out of my comfort zone. I am excited to use all the life lessons I've learned so far and apply them into the real world I am also excited to have my own place to live. I plan on traveling in college so that's very exciting but I am very nervous about that because I wont really have my family with me if I do decided to study abroad in a different country. It'll all be worth it though.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe I want to venture out of the state. Personally I want to experience studying in a new country. That has been my dream for a while now and I am planning on making it come true in college. Before studying abroad I am looking into living on the east coast and moving out of the country for a bit. I am mostly looking for out of state/country schools but if I do stay in state I would go to a school in San Diego.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the thing that scares me the most about college is being away from my family and knowing that I have to move out. Honestly moving out is really scary because I won't be living in my family home anymore but it is also very exciting because I like to be independent. The thing that terrifies me the most about moving out though is other people. People are crazy and I want to make sure that wherever I'm moving to that it's going to be really safe.

# data[].attributes.body
A goal that I have that I hope to achieve in college that I couldn't achieve in high school is studying in a different country. At first I wanted to be a high school exchange student but I didn't push hard enough to make that work, so now I'm going to make sure I become a study abroad student in college. I'm going to research everything that needs to be done in order to study somewhere else and I'm going to apply.

I am looking forward to meeting new people who have the same interests as me such as majors. I wanna experience the college life and see how other people react to college life. I am also looking forward to the clubs that they could have and the events. I would want to go to some sports games that they have because I’ve always enjoyed sports and I think they’re interesting. I also am looking forward to learning to be more independent. I’ve always relied on my parents so I finally want to know how it’s like being in my own and doing everything for myself rather than some.

# data[].attributes.body
The things that scare me the most about college is the work load and the difficulty of the classes. Also just wondering about the money I need to get to pay for college. I find it scary how it’ll eventually become a reality check and I’ll have to do all these things very soon. I get really nervous thinking about the future and what I’m going to do with my life. It’s something I never really thought to hard on because I’ve always tried my best to live in the moment but now I’m going to actually start thinking about it.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I would want to stay in state because I grew up here and I’m not sure how I would adapt to a new environment. Don’t get me wrong I love to travel, I’ve traveled to many states but I feel like personally for me I would feel much more comfortable if I stayed in state and was closer to everything especially my family.

# data[].attributes.body
Some goals I hope to achieve that I couldn’t in high school is being more out there and taking on bigger roles. I feel like in high school throughout my years I never really put myself in leadership roles and I want to strive to be more of myself than I ever was here. I also want to be more independent and not procrastinate as much. This is something I’ve always wanted to do but have never really taken the steps to actually do. I know the work and difficulty is going to be so much more different and harder and I want to be able to not get distracted as easily.

What Im looking forward to the most in college is building connections with people from all over the place. I think its pretty cool meeting people from different backgrounds and learning about their experiences. You can make lifelong friends in college, and thats something I really want. Being in college also means having more freedom and learning how to handle things on your own, which will help me grow up. Im also really looking forward to football games and other school events. Overall, Im exited about the independence and opportunities that come with college life.(95 words)
