The holiday break is finally here for students across the country! For seniors, this could be a time to reflect on early action/decision matters and for the majority of students, it’s crunch time to complete personal statements, applications, and maybe even visit a campus or two.
The holiday break is a time to step away from the hustle, stress, and routine of school and reflect on what you really want from a college experience. Do you feel the same way about a school as you did in September? Have your goals changed? Perhaps you’re rethinking an intended major? This is completely normal. Investing your time and resources into the next fours years is not to be taken lightly, so over the next few weeks, consider all your options and which path you’d like to go. If you’re not sure, talk it over with people that are close to you. Besides yourself, they know you best!
For juniors, next month is traditionally the month that begins the college search. You may want to take a look at your school’s calendar and/or NACAC’s to figure out when a college fair is coming to your area. These fairs are an excellent way for you to learn more about what’s out there beyond the brand name school in your region. With over 4,000 accredited institutions of higher education, there’s many to choose from and learn about. Focus on the possibilities and not the limitations.
