Starting early on choosing a college and what you're wanting to do is essential to not have a crazed senior year. My viewpoint is that planning is the best option to have a prepared next two years.

You'd already be able to apply for scholarships instead of still college.

Imagine it being senior year in the fall and you still have no idea what you want to do and where. All of your friends may already be talking about where they're accepted into and you still haven't even applied. They had a plan and followed it and you thought you'd just do "whatever" now you're behind on applications, scholarships and deadlines. You don't want to be that person, you want to be the person who had a plan and followed it through.
Overall, having a plan will make your senior year much more stress free with more opportunities to apply for scholarships early
