A letter to all:
College is a really big part of us students. I really encourage everyone of you Key Clubbers would take that into consideration. As the winter months slowly pass, college decision haunts all of the seniors of high school. Looking for the deadlines and getting your application finished and perfected in time seriously takes up a lot of your time. The best thing to prepare yourself is actually researching up information about admission prior. Stress is also a big thing in college and may be present in high school but I believe stress comes from being unprepared and unknowledgeable. To reduce stress, you need to get on top of your things. Ask your teachers for recommendation letters months before the deadline, write your college essays in the summer so when school starts you won’t get senioritis or get caught up with the high school vibe. A big crucial thing before going to college is having the correct mindset of what you are planning to do there. Uncertainty will definitely be swayed by peer pressure from your friends and might not truly match your interests. For example, joining a certain class, or having some fun at parties, or rushing freshman year for greek life.. These thing you have to have sorted out before you go into college. If not, then you’re just a lost student who goes with the flow of their classmates and not being who you are or who you want to be. Above all, school work and projects should be first. College is for educated. The experience of college will always supplement studying. The fun will never leave, you just need to be prepare to catch the right wave of fun. Honestly, college is supposed to be more fun than high school so treat it like you have something in the future. Do not treat it like high school. People are different, your time is different, your home life is different, but don’t let this be a barrier but an inspiration on exploring something new about you. This is the best time to find about what you like the most and college will have a wide variety that might interest you. Girls and social life are seriously not worth it when you are having so much fun playing football or joining a choir. Being prepared is the most crucial thing a person can obtain because it eases the path from bumps and you’ll be taking off and soaring from the joys of the world. Stay focus, stay true to yourself, and stay happy. Sincerely, Brian Chen |
