The transition to college is often underestimated by parents and teens alike.

High school guidance counselors are riddled with added responsibilities and requirements with an ongoing pressure to guide their students through the college admissions process.
Parents are creating college accounts before gender reveal parties in the hopes of not having to refinance their homes to afford the rising costs of higher education.
