College Matters

A high school student wrote that she’s confused about choosing classes for college. She’s very stressed out because she hasn’t figured out what courses to take for the following fall. In high school, you’ve solidified the following year’s course schedule by the end of the spring semester, so it’s no wonder the upcoming graduate is stressed. Allow me to emphasize, then, to all of my high school readers: course selection in college can sometimes involve changes up until the first week of classes. If you can avoid making changes following the first day of classes, you’re doing well. Feel free to take all or most of a summer to consider your options.
