    "Will I ever be able to pay off my college debts?"

    We recently asked teenagers in the BuzzFeed Community to tell us questions they might have about adulthood. Here are the results.

    1. "How will I know what courses I should take?"

    2. "How do you keep in touch with friends from high school, especially if they're planning on going to college far away from you?"

    3. "Is going to a really good (and therefore expensive) college worth it for undergrad?"

    4. "Is staying focused in college as hard as adults say it is?"

    5. "Are parties at major universities *that* distracting that you flunk out?"

    6. "Is it hard to get a job right out of college?"

    7. "Career-wise, is it better to choose a major that I'm not that passionate about but it will be easier to find a job, or a major that I really like but the career paths aren't that wide?"

    8. "On a scale of 1 to NOPE, how bad of an idea are student loans?"

    9. "If you're talented at Liberal Arts and nothing else, is it OK to try to make a career out of it?"

    11. "Will it really be as difficult as I've heard to get a job after getting a degree in English?"

    12. "Will I ever be able to pay off my college debts?"

    13. "How important is it to go to college versus just getting a job after I graduate?"

    14. "How do you make new friends once you're there?"
