Spring is in the air around here! And with that comes the rush of panic for high school seniors as they try to pull together the finals strings of their future. My office is swarming with students in a panic who didn’t get the FAFSA filed by March 1, or the ones who haven’t applied to a college of their choice! It’s such an overwhelming feeling as they drown a little every day in high school course work all while they are putting pieces into place for college and planning where to go, who to room with, and what meal plan to choose.
I keep reminding them—RELAX! Organize and manage your time! There may be a night or weekend where you can’t go out with your friends, but it’s one weekend that can and will better prepare you for the future!
As for the FAFSA, March 1 was the PRIORITY deadline, not the final and last time to EVER submit it! So add that to the “TO DO THIS WEEKEND” list! And continue the scholarship search, many deadlines are in March. That’s why they call it March Madness right? It’s the month of deadlines, cutoff dates, and crunch time if you’re behind!
Only a few more months, enjoy the ride and RELAX!
