Take a vacation!

Hi again internet, I have had a very productive summer. Firstly, I have spent the better part of this past month working on my common app and other college applications. I finished my common app essay draft and I'm working on refining it, and I'm ready to start my senior year with plans to bolster this application with more accomplishments before its time to hit submit. I've also been looking more into different scholorships and schools. My main priority is to get into as little debt as possible.. and I've been looking into top schools like MIT, and ESPECIALLY Columbia (my dream uni!!) for large endownments and 100% need based aid. On top of this, I'm also looking into different full ride scholorships from all over the place. I already know about how competitive these schools and scholorships are, but in my mind, the only chances you are 100% not going to get are the ones you don't take. So wish me luck!! Before I start my senior year next month, and really lock in with AP classes and college apps, me and my family are going north for a few days on a vacation for the first time in over a year. I'm so grateful for the timing on this.. after spending my summer in the city and on my computer, touring colleges and working on applications, I'm more then ready to retreat for a couple days. After this vacation, I also wish to update the site more, and bring my new layout to every page currently up - so stay tuned!
