Already worried about after college

College Life
1

<p>I’m currently a senior at high school and I’m already worried about what will happen after college. I’m looking to apply to SDSU, UCSB, and ASU for college. However, I’m not too sure if I’ll get into SDSU or UCSB which means most likely I’ll go to ASU. Now the problem is I want to live in California when I’m older so if I go to ASU i’ll have to move yet again (I currently live in NY). So now I’m already worrying about friends I’ll have to lose yet again after college. </p>

<p>So my question is, has anyone else gone through this? How did it end up?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>But seriously. It’s good to think about what you want to do after college but you don’t have to think THIS hard about it. Don’t miss out on college because you’re worried about afterward. Some people go through highschool worried about college, then college worried about the “real world” then the “real world” worried about retirement, it’s a never ending cycle that doesn’t let you really stop and experience the moment you’re in. The post I linked you to was more meant for people who are about to be freshmen and are stressed out about that, but it goes for everybody else too.</p>

<p>I’m not going to let it effect me while I’m in college. This thread was really meant to see if I should just go to a community college in California for 2 years and then transfer to UCLA or UCSB.</p>

<p>I’m letting this idea effect my college choice, but I won’t let it effect my experience in college. I’d be pretty worried about going to California by myself after college without knowing anyone there. If I go to college in California, I will have already built up friendships with people. You know?</p>

<p>Really… Dont worry about it. You dont know what you will want in 5 years.</p>

<p>Honestly, I want to live in Washington after college, I want to do my graduate school in Seattle and stay in Washington. But life likes to throw you curve balls and you never know what will happen down the road.</p>

<p>You can have a plan, but it should be flexible and it shouldnt stress you out. Life is to short to worry about the small things.</p>

<p>I have changed my mind 100 times since I got into college … first I wanted to live in Upstate New York, then Cali, now the midwest. College is a wild ride - you grow up, you change. Just let it happen!</p>
