Step 16: Focus on yourself

Searching for, preparing for, and applying to college can be a stressful time for you and your parents! Take some time after you apply to relax and enjoy the time you have with your family and friends before you have to really prepare for college.

Use this time to prepare yourself for college in other ways than just filling out applications. Read up on what you can expect out of college student life, and take some time to learn more about yourself.

The more you know about yourself going into college, the easier time you will have making friends, choosing a major and planning your future!
