Summer is here, at last!
I hope the school year ended well for everyone, and for those of you who are going off to college in the fall, good luck and have fun!
For those of you who aren’t, here are a few (just a few) things you could consider doing in the summer that are college related:
1. Visit a couple of schools. There most likely won’t be a whole lot going on since it’s summer break for college students too, but most schools still offer tours in the summer and you have lots of free time to wander the campus now, right?
2. Take an SAT or ACT prep class, or check out a review book from the library. Practicing a couple problems a day (or week) can’t hurt!
3. Apply for scholarships, or start working on scholarship applications, that are due in the fall. When school starts up again you will thank yourself for having gotten some of them done over the summer. This way, you can work on them while you’re stress free and lounging around rather than when you have a full class schedule.
4. Sign up for some REALLY engaging extracurricular summer stuff, like volunteering for a nonprofit or a community organization. Or get a job! These are all things that will look great on your resume and they can be really fun.
Anyway, I’m going to be taking a break from the blog over the summer. However, still feel free to send in questions and I will answer them when we return in the fall.
Enjoy your summer,
Ali
