One of the key ways -- vital -- to get through the college admissions process is to get organized and stay organized.
You need to Tame This Paper Monster. This Paper Monster lives in your trash can, under your bed, the dining room table, the ping pong table or your closet!

What paper? By the time you are at the end of your senior year
    *    You will have several 50# lawn & leaf bags
                filled to the brim
    *    Your dining room table will be lost to family
                occasions for 2 years
    *    The floor of your closet and under your bed will be
          stuffed with paper
    *    The mail carrier will be rubber-banding college
          catalogs to the outside of your mail box since the box
           is already stuffed
