How do I handle college application stress?

Hi guys, I'm a high school junior and I'm already starting to feel stressed about the college application process. How do you handle the stress and stay organized? Are there any tips or resources that have helped you stay calm and focused? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey there! It's completely normal to feel stressed about the college application process, but there are definitely ways to help manage it. My child found it helpful to stay organized by creating a timeline of application deadlines, tests, and other milestones. They used a planner dedicated to college applications so they could see everything in one place. Also, reaching out to friends, teachers, or your school counselor can provide valuable advice and support. Remember to take breaks and practice self-care. Engage in hobbies or activities that you enjoy and help you relax. Finally, it's essential to keep perspective; many great schools are out there, and you'll find the right one for you. Don't forget that the application process is just one part of your life, and it's okay if things don't go perfectly. Stay positive and believe in yourself! Good luck with your applications!
