Preparing yourself for college can be a very difficult thing to do. There are so many aspects pf college life that you have to be prepared for. You need to think about your major, finances, the place where you will live, where you plan on going, a job, transportation, and so much more. High school is the perfect time to prepare for all of those. If you are not able to get a high school job, you need to make sure you will be financially stable for when you graduate. If you do get a job, save that money. It is vital you have good money skills when you are in college. Along with that, you need to have a plan for transportation. If you are not able to get a car, or don’t already have one, get a bus pass, or find a friend to carpool with. Now, depending on whether you live on your own, or with your parent still will effect your food situation. I do not recommend eating out often, and if you buy your own groceries, make sure you are budgeting. Although they seem small and simple, these tips will help you so much through out your college experience.
