It’s March now and we all know what that means: warmer air, March madness, spring break…and the time when many high school seniors are wrapping up the college application process and are finalizing their decisions.
You’ll go through a wide variety of different experiences and emotions during the coming months. You’re entering uncharted waters, after all!
Regardless of your actual level of nostalgia for the past and hope for the future, this will feel like a very special moment.
Prepare yourself to be invited to scores of graduation parties and brace yourself to meet tens of your friends’ relatives. Remember that although your college-bound friends may all be headed for different corners of the world, you’re still going through the same experience.
Since you’re all done with your resume-building volunteering, summer will be a great time to earn extra money for school through a summer job or scholarship applications. If you’re starting to feel overwhelmed by the nervousness that so many future college students experience, try to stay busy with work or spending time with loved ones!
This is also the time when many schools have orientation days where you can register for classes, learn more about your program and meet professors and get answers to any of your lingering questions. That will help ease the transition and help you tie up loose ends.
The reality of the upcoming transition will begin to start sinking in at about this time and you’ll begin to feel excited and nervous.

Congrats, grad! You walked across that stage to receive your high school diploma. Though the memory of the graduation ceremony itself will be tinted with all the boredom you felt during it, as well as the two- or three-minute adrenaline rush when you stepped up to shake hands with various school bigwigs and snatch the diploma you so rightfully earned, you’ll feel on that day like your life is beginning.
