College is soo stressful

Are colleges even worth all the stress?

This has been on my mind recently because I really realized that I'm applying to colleges in like 6-7 months. I mean it would be unrealistic for me to say that I wouldn't go to a college but certainly I do have doubts about which one to choose. For the longest time I've wanted to stay in-state and stay close to my parents. For financial reasons but also for my mental comfort. But recently I've been really considering going out of state and the biggest reason was that I want to start fresh from the scratch and also experience new  things like warm weathers. But then I also thought about how I would have to get a lot like a lot of scholarships to go out of state with my 2 other siblings almost back to back going to college. Then I started thinking maybe I shouldn't aim for one in-state school and instead, aim for another college that would give me a lot of scholarships. So, right now I have no conclusion.

This is all just my thoughts but what I'm trying to say is choosing a college and committing is hard. Maybe the hardest decision that most high school students will make up to this point. And it's crazy that this is bugging me a lot because I honestly stopped caring about colleges like my life depended on it a long time ago. 

I was talking to my sister (who's going to college this year) about this and she said, where ever I go, there will always be a path for me and to just not stress too much about it. And I honestly I still don't know the answer to the question I presented this blog but what I can say for sure is college is not my whole life and I bet that the actual college experience will be better than anything I have experienced so far. So, for now, I'll just study for my APs and just try my best to stay afloat.
