Day 1 | 6-7:30pm
Acceptance: There’s a whole lot of arbitrariness involved in the college application process, and that’s ok.
Don’t forget to celebrate! It is possible and important to experience joy, even amidst stress and overwhelm. Take it all in and enjoy it while it lasts.
Had to learn that this isn’t a process of perfection: get all your thoughts/potential schools out before you try and sift through them
Ideas can come when you least expect them—got one of my favorite essay ideas on a random day walking home from school!
You’re only human: no matter how much others around you might want you to act otherwise
This process is a great way to learn more about yourself and to grow from it. You will make mistakes, but you will also achieve great things!
If you can dream it, you can do it!
Believe in your own story & voice, and let your self define your path rather than the other way around.
