I've read this somewhere but can't remember where.  First write, write and write some more.  Have enough to show that you CAN actually write.  Contact local papers etc. to find out if they have a need or opening and then take off!  Don't think there's a whole lot of technicalities.  You just do it.  Best wishes...

People start college at all phases of their life now, you won't be out of place because of your age.  Good luck, work hard.

Writing classes at virtually any college would help. Do you have a guidance counselor you can ask at your school?\n\nWhat type of writing? Creative, broadcasting, advertising?

Since you're going anyway, learn to want to go.\nFind out about the program they offer in your major write about that. Also look into clubs/groups/asociations, internships, faculty, facilities - that are nice or better than others. \nFind a few things that you REALLY think are positives (small class size, country setting, city setting, historic buildings, cutting edge technology WHATEVER) and write abotu those.

It is absolutely possible to start a career in journalism with a degree in English. There are several advantages: English curriculum teaches research, not just interviewing. Then there's the grammar training...\n\nBut choose the major you want. Learn what you'd like to learn. Careers come after graduation. Enjoy learning and make the most of it!

Try to keep a positive outlook! Remeber that alll the other people in your year are new also, so everyone is feeling that strange 'newness' Getting involved in clubs and activities will also keep you occupied, not to mention look great on your college applications. BEst of luck and have fun.

I would also say coursework. That way you can track writing ability and communication skills. Those are skills which will carry over into real life.
