College stuff...

Picking a college is very overwhelming experience for any one, even if they say it wasn't. You have to worry about so many things and still try to enjoy the rest of your high school experience. The ACT is a very very very stressful thing for most people. Sometimes it just depends on one point which would give you a scholarship or not. Other times people struggle to get accepted because of their ACT score. Other things such as your GPA is something you need work hard to keep as high as you can. At some colleges, like Gustavus Adolfus in Minnesota, the average ACT score is 26 or 27 and the average GPA is 3.7.

Other people have it easy because they aren't worried about the whole money issue. Some are fortunate with parents that pay for their college education. Others work hard to get a good athletic scholarship to help themselves get through college. (That is what i'm hoping for because i'm going to be paying for my own college education.) Others have to work really hard to earn enough money to pay their way through college. It is just a very stressful time in people's lives these days.
