How the hell does anyone decide where to go to college, and just how important is the "college experience?"
I'm a junior in high school and college scares me a lot. I think I know what I want to study (music management and production) but I'm not sure, and I don't know if I have the proper qualifications. Also, I don't know if I want to go away to college or stay in state...most of my friends already graduated high school and they stuck around. The thought of leaving everyone I know kind of terrifies me. Maybe that means I'm too people-dependant. and I know I'd make new friends eventually, but... do I really have to leave everyone? is that part of "growing up?" Do I have to make such a drastic change? is it bad to not go away?
also, how important is "choosing the right college" or whatever? like, do you have to go to the absolute best college you can get into? My dad went to Harvard and I'm a good student (4.0 throughout high school so far), but I don't know if I really want to go to Harvard or some really fancy school or whatever. I just want to go somewhere with cirriculum I'm interested in that will get me a job (I'm thinking of starting my own record label actually...so business school? see I have no idea).
I don't know. I am so flummoxed and frightened right now. Just thinking about college really, really worries me. Like I seriously have a phobia of it. I really have no idea where I'm going in life. Does anyone have any advice?
Does everyone go through this, or am I weird?
