Lesson 3 – December 29: Completed College Applications

My college applications are complete. I feel like the battle is finally over. It’s no longer in my hands. I applied to seven different colleges; two to three for each city I am interested in. When you go through the college application process, do not feel as though you have to apply to seven or more different colleges. I am a nervous person, who clearly likes having many backup plans. 

All I confidently say about the college application process is this: do what feels right to you. When you write your college application essay, be truthful. Don’t write about what you think the applications office may be looking for. Stories become great when people write from personal experience. Also don’t allow yourself to stress as much as I did. College applications and the college you attend do not determine your future. There is a great place for everyone in this world. College is just a different path to finding it.
