Answer:
Good thing you're thinking about the future.
Tip #1: Think about what you like to do or excel at. Like if you're good at medicine and you like helping people you can find a major for you to become a doctor.
Tip #2: Start finding colleges you're interested in going to, and using Tip #1, find colleges that can help support you in the major you've decided to do. So if you've decided to major in something to do with technology, go to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Decide also if you want to go to a college that's far or if you want to be near your home state. Like if you live in California, you can go to UCLA.
Tip #3: Always have backups. Apply to all the colleges you want, because you might not get accepted to some.
Tip #5: If you can, apply for scholarships. It'll help!!
Tip #4: Start getting used to being busy and waking up early!
Overall: Find a major and a college that you think you'll be most comfortable in and something you're interested in as well as excel at.
Explanation:
Examples: Me. I like to help and comfort people. I've been interested in psychology and I excel at listening to others. So, I decided to take on Psychology as my major. As for my college, I want to aim high, so I already prepared to go to Stanford. I had other colleges in mind nearby just in case I didn't get in to my top choice. I live in California and I wanted to stay close to home :)
My sister majored in math because she loved doing math. She was in a different major before, but switched majors. She wanted to stay in California like me, but was afraid of applying to some major colleges because she didn't think she'll make those in. So she went to Pomona College.Now she has graduated and is a research analyst.
What matters is, you're happy with what major and college you're taking. Good luck.
