   Reaching your goals and identifying the cause behind your procrastination, Caskey says, will help guide you through a quicker, easier college application process.

Then, when you decide to which colleges you'll apply, "choose the schools that match your needs, rather than the ones you think are good," he says. "Don't be focused on the name of a school, but on understanding what it is you're seeking to get out of it."
   
   Narrowing your choices and choosing several colleges you want to attend, Caskey explains,will equal to less stress. "If you worry about getting into one particular school [instead of] several that fit your liking, you'll have added stress," he says.
