High school seniors: it’s okay not to know what you want to do.
‘Tis the season for Common Application.

Tips for Stressful Weeks!
Multiple exams, lack of sleep, and overwhelming amounts of stress pretty much summarize midterm week. Midterm week is an amazing part of the semester where you must finish two papers, study for multiple exams, and give a presentation within a few days’ time. What a blast! Excuse my sarcasm but midterm week really is demanding. […]
