college.

The most stressful thing about college isn't having to make new friends, join clubs, finish class work, take exams, or decide on a major.
The most stressful thing about college is the fact that in 4 years you have to grow up and be an adult. You have to start preparing for that now. Cause in 4 or 5 years you have to make all your own decisions. Depend on yourself to provide for yourself. Have your life and your future figured out.

Once you're in high school, the door to childhood gradually shuts behind you.
Once you're in college, the door to adolescence gradually shuts behind you.
And once you've graduated, you'll turn back and realize all those doors are closed, and there's no going back.


And to me, that's terrifying.
