Spring Break is over...

Can you believe we have reached the end of Spring Break?  It felt like it went fast, but I am looking forward to hearing about your breaks and what you did during the week off.

Last week and the next few days are big weeks for college admissions decisions as selective colleges put out their acceptance/ rejection/ wait list offers.  This can be a very stressful time for students.  Try to take a deep breath and relax – you have put yourself in the best position possible with your applications.  If you are stressing out about the news, feel free to stop in and see me so that we can talk about it.

Also, I’d like to remind all students (in all grades) to be sensitive to the feelings of those who are receiving admissions decisions.  Getting the decision can be hard enough, but often the more difficult aspect is being asked, “Did you get accepted?” by well meaning friends.  Students who were accepted will typically be telling everyone their exciting news, but I’d suggest that you wait and allow them the opportunity to share the information with you on their own time.  If they don’t offer up the news that they were accepted or not, then be sensitive to the fact that they may not have gotten the news they wanted and don’t ask because that could put them on the spot to share disappointing news.

For those students who are among those individuals still waiting to hear from your college of choice – I hope you get the news you are wanting.  See you tomorrow!
