It seems like, at this point in your life, everyone has an idea about who you are and what you should be doing. Your parents, your teachers, your friends, older brothers and sisters may all be approaching you with earnest advice about what you should do with your life and your college experience. Most of these people mean well, but that doesn't negate the fact that, at the end of the day, you are the one who controls your life, just as you are the one who feels the consequences of your actions most powerfully. There are probably others that have a stake in your success, such as parents who may have supported you financially and emotionally, friends, and loved ones, but you have to make sure that you're making the best decision for you. The choices you make now have the potential to impact the rest of your life. Take everyone's ideas into account, and thank them for it, but make your own decisions, and make them with yourself in mind.

Do your research and have a clear idea of what kind of college you want to be in, and choose a college closes to it. When you get there, get involve and do your best in all your classes. Never settle for an average grade, study hard, but also remember to give time for yourself. Grades are important, but so are building a strong relationship with people around you. College is a time for learning, growth, and creating that network that will carry you through after school.

Finding the right college takes more than just looking at the U.S. News top-ranked colleges list. The right college depends on the person and what the person feels fits them. However, this doesn't always come easily, nor instantly. For myself, this school wasn't my top choice. But with how involved I am in the school, I really feel that college is what you make of it. My school feels like home and I had to grow into it, rather than be right away thrilled and excited. Granted, there is going to be something at every school that a person dislikes and wishes would change. I've been to several colleges after being enrolled in the one I am now and of course, I've made my comparisons and had my wishful thoughts. In the end though, my college experience depended on the people that I met who I chose to stay part of my life, the activities I made myself known for, and more. I have known people who attended the same college as each other and all had mixed feelings. The college life has everything to do with taking part in it.
