SAYONARA TO SENIOR YEAR STRESS:

Stand Up and take a deep BREATH ...

Plan ahead and take some time out to relax! You can lower your stress this fall even amidst all the chaos of college applications admissions.

Many students believe that acceptance to a selective college is the key that unlocks the door to success in life, so enduring any amount of stress is worth the reward.

The average acceptance rate at four-year colleges and universities nationwide has hovered around 65 percent for most of the last decade.

Not everyone will attend a 4-year college right after high school- other options to consider: 2-year schools, technical training, work, gap year, travel.

GOODBYE TO SENIOR YEAR STRESS:

The pathway to a less stressful senior year begins with YOU!

Ask yourself: What do I enjoy doing other than schoolwork? What am I passionate

about?

The better you know yourself, the better your chances of combating the pressure to pick the

right journey for yourself

Define yourself, pursue your own path and be bold enough to set your

own realistic expectations
