To my high school seniors,
One month until the national college reply date! I wish you all the best as you make that very tough or very easy final college decision. I hope you enjoy the adventures ahead of you as you set out on your college journey. The next 4 years of your life will be some of your most memorable. If you thought high school was a blast - college will be 10x that. The transition may seem difficult at first, but I promise you will get through it successfully. Take advantage of all there is to do in college - sports, clubs, organizations, campus jobs, research with professors, study abroad, internships, the friends/people you meet, greek life, volunteer/community service, and a wonderful education that will be the foundation for your future. Four years will fly by, so don't wish away those "bad" days that you may have from time to time. Once it's over, you will wish you were still sleeping in that twin bed in that tiny dorm room with your college roommate...staying up late to cram for a big exam the next day. Enjoy every moment of this experience.
My advice to you as you make this very big decision in your life...choose a college/university that you can call "home". As I always say, it's about fit and feeling.
Embrace this next chapter in your life. It may seem a little scary and challenging at first, but in the end, you will have had the time of your life and realize it was all worth it.
Good luck seniors!
