How do I stop being stressed about college?

You have to make a plan. If it is finances talk to a financial advisor and see what is available. Also look for small scholarships, and apply to s many as you can. There are a lot of them that many people never apply for because they feel $50 isn't worth the paperwork. When you apply for and get 10 of them, your books are paid for. If you don't have a job, get one. My whole family has worked through college. Most of us took an extra year or two to get through, but we got through with little or no debt. Employers don't care how long it took to get your degree, but many will look at your credit report, and will question your debt. Be sure to talk to a counselor about scheduling though, as some classes are only offered during certain semesters and you want to be sure to get those in on time.
