Dear Annie: I worry so much about the future that I can’t enjoy the present

Dear Annie: I’m a teenager about to be a junior in high school in the fall. So far, high school has been bland. Nothing exciting happens. I guess the only thing that is exciting is the fact that I’m going to Japan on a school trip in less than two weeks. I want to go to college, but I want to attend a college out of state because I want a fresh start. Plus, I don’t want to see former classmates at college. (I have some ideas in mind as to which out-of-state colleges to go to, but I haven’t visited them yet. My main focus is to see if they have Japanese as a major.)
