Preparing for college is one of the most stressful, yet exciting parts of ones life. Olivea Randall, a senior at Pattonville High School, plans on going to college, but as of right now she has no idea which one.

“I’m more so excited than stressed,” she said. “But I won’t be stressed at all once I figure out my college plans.”

Currently, Randall is making preparations to send out her college applications, which have to be turned in by Oct. 31.

Randall is going to be going on a college visit to Missouri State University within the next few weeks, which is the college she really wants to go to. But in order to do that, she explained how she needs a certain score on the ACT.

Randall obviously plans on going away for college, or hopes to at least. She also said she plans on doing things to get involved, like joining a sorority.

Along with all the excitement of going off to college comes the fact that she will be away from friends and family.

“I will miss seeing the friends I’ve grown up with every day,” Randall said, “but I’m excited to see them all start their lives.”
