Academy seniors are now entering the final stages of the college application process, decision time! It can turn out to be the best of times or the worst of times. Here are the stages of (finally!) committing to a college:
The ‘I’m going to College!’ stage
The ‘Wow this is more expensive than I thought’ stage
The ‘finding a roommate’ struggle
The ‘what if college is super hard and I fail out’ internal struggle stage
The ‘I don’t want to leave’ stage
The ‘JK I’m excited to get out of here’ recovery stage
The ‘Yay! I found a roommate that seems normal and we’re coordinating a dorm!’ stage
The ‘I’m here! College come at me!’
