Over the past couple months, Seniors and, even some Juniors, have been scrambling to apply for college and find out what they are going to do with their lives. Some have been planning for college before they even reached high school, some have at least have a college picked out, and then there are some who have no idea what they want to do with their life. I got to interview 5 people about what they plan to do with their life after high school, and here are their responses.
Anna J., Senior
