So I realize that I haven't posted recently. There isn't too much going on to talk about. Right not college apps and school work are taking up the majority of my, and every other senior's, time. I recently filled out everything on the common app website. It was very scary. I can't wait for everything to be done and figured out. Right now I feel like we are all starting a marathon, not that I would know what that is like, and we are all rushing towards the finish line, college.
One important thing that I have to say...
Everyone right now is dealing with a lot of stress. The one thing that we all need to remember is how to relax. We are all at our breaking point, with the mention of college, most of us flinch or burst into a fit of tears. The only way to cure this is by taking a deep breath and remembering that everyone is going through it together. Well, not the freshman...
One thing that makes me smile after a long week, or more, of filling out form after form, and writing essay after essay, is looking outside at the trees. I dare you to look outside and see the trees changing. I love the reds and the oranges, to me the trees are a reminder that there are still good things going on. Such as after taking a break from your work there is probably a big bag of Cape Cod potato chips in your cabinet, or a little puppy to play with. Anything that can help take away the stress is one of those good things.
Can't wait to talk about things other than applications and essays. Good luck to everyone!!!
