College Application Stress from a 13-Year-Old?!

No, I'm not working on my college applications right now, however, do I feel stressed about it, yes. And that is because my future is right in front of my eyes and in order for me to get where I want to be at in the future, I have to complete certain things to achieve my goals. Thus, going to a good college is one of them, and even though life is not over without a good college, it certainly will be enhanced with it.


If you were to let me apply to college right now with my achievements and activities that I have on hand, I would not panic, because my anxiety has allowed to plan everything I would need for the application, and all I need to do right now is to complete writing some essays, and I would be good to go. I really think that I would not let myself down with the stuff I have now, but there is one thing that is preventing me from feeling fully confident about my future, and that is the uncertainty of life, which is something that may sound ridiculous to think about given that I already have my entire college application planned, however, because of the uncertainty of what realm of the world I would like to be part of, it is still a mystery of how I would choose when I get to the senior year of high school. I know I am interested in business, that's for sure, but because I want to run my fashion business in the future full time, media and communications is also a direction I am considering. I have always wanted to do something related to social media in the future, but being an influencer is so unstable and I am not sure if I am made for that job. I am not gonna lie, I am quite jealous of those social media content creators as (at least in seems like) their job is only composed of filming, posting, brand deal communications, and going to events. This life is the life that I crave, and I really hope I get the opportunity to be in this position on day, but perhaps running a business is the path that is really made for me.


The uncertainty in life is what makes it fun and worth living, so why not be in it and stop feeling too anxious?


What do you think?
