Monday

College graduates earn, on average, about $20,000 more a year than people who don't go to school after high school. That means going to college could earn you almost one million more dollars in your life than if you don't go!

Tuesday

Wednesday

In college, you pick a major. Think of it as your favorite subject. In college you get to pick your own classes. For example, if you want to learn more about animals, you will take classes on animals . If you want to learn more about computers, you will take classes about computers.

Thursday

Even though you are in intermediate school, there are a lot of things you can be doing RIGHT NOW that will help you be ready for college. Doing your schoolwork everyday, learning about what jobs you're interested in, studying for tests, and talking to your parents or guardians about college are all ways to get prepared. 

Friday

Colleges come in all shapes and sizes. Some are as small as 50 people and some have 50,000 people! Size of a school is just one thing to think about when deciding what college you'd like to attend. Other things to think about are: location, cost, and what classes they offer.
