<human>:  How can I reduce the stress of applying to college?
<bot>: One way to reduce the stress of applying to college is to set realistic expectations for the process. Create deadlines for yourself for when you will complete tasks throughout the process, break down the process into smaller pieces, and stay organized. Also, be sure to give yourself breaks from the application process and make time to relax and practice self-care. Additionally, speaking to a school counselor or career advisor can be helpful as they can provide guidance and support.
