Step 18: Gear up for college

After you make your final college decision, it's time to start preparing for when you actually leave high school behind! That might mean making a college dorm checklist and going on a shopping trip to get necessities, like extra-long twin sheets, a mini fridge, and other dorm supplies. Or it could mean that it's time to brush up on your roommate etiquette and figure out what you really can expect as a freshman college student living the college dorm life.

You have done a great job at preparing for your life in college so far by being a successful high school student. Take some time to enjoy the last bit of high school!
