"One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself." —Lucille Ball
I came across this quote today and I wanted to share it with you. It expresses perfectly where you are in your college process... some of your friends (or maybe you) have already been accepted to college. This year is going to be a bit of an emotional roller coaster, with ups and downs, first and lasts, all competing for your attention.
Don't let it get to you. Stay focused on your school work, your friends and family, and most of all believe in yourself. There will likely be some disappointments in the future (very few are accepted to 100% of their colleges). There may be a deferral (or two) in the early round of applications. Just remember that a deferral is not a rejection, and by sending additional information, you may be able to strengthen your application to change that deferral into an acceptance. And get those remaining apps out the door. No one writes a good essay when they are feeling depressed.
(More about deferrals and what you can do in my next post).
Hang in there. Take some time to breathe and relax (as long as you aren't sliding into Senioritis!). This is a long process, but in the end, you will be in a dorm in September, excited to begin your college life!
