The college application process is a time for some The college application process is a time for some serious self-reflection. You’ll need to think - and write - about yourself in ways you probably haven’t done before. One of the best ways to kickstart this process is by taking a personality test! It can help you think about who you are, who you want to be, and how college can help you get there. Everyone is different so it’s important that you’re focusing on YOU in your college application process and making decisions that are right for you. My favorite personality test for this is @16personalitiesofficial #collegeapps #collegeadmissions #collegegoals #highschool #classof2022 #collegeadvice #sacramento #personalitytest #sacramentosmallbusiness

📔 What does your daily planning system look lik 📔 What does your daily planning system look like? Do you even have one??⁠ ⁠ 📔 One of the most important parts of maintaining good grades is managing all of the tasks that go along with earning good grades. You can't just will yourself to have good grades - there's a lot that goes into it! And there is also a lot going on in your life outside of school - you're so much more than just your grades! ⁠ ⁠ 📔 Sometimes it can be overwhelming trying to balance all your schoolwork, your extracurricular activities, your family responsibilities, your friends, and your fun. That's why it's SO important to have a plan!⁠ ⁠ 📔 Every day, take a minute to figure out and WRITE DOWN (don't forget this step!) exactly what you need to do that day and when you're going to do it. Make sure that you're allotting specific time frames for each task so you don't try to fit too much into time that isn't there. This way, your tasks will likely be done more efficiently rather than expanding to fill any available time. If your planner says your history reading will be done between 5:45-6:30, you're more likely to make that happen instead of dragging it out for another hour by getting distracted by other things on your list. ⁠ ⁠ 📔 Try keeping a detailed daily plan for a few days and tell me how it goes! What do you find works best for you?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #highschool #collegeprep #collegebound #goodgrades #classof2022 #stayorganized #sacramento #sacramentosmallbusiness #collegeapps #collegeadmission #testprep
🐻 Spring is an exciting time in the world of co 🐻 Spring is an exciting time in the world of college admissions! Seniors are receiving their college decisions and are deciding themselves where they want their next big adventures to take them. Juniors are just starting to take their next steps and thinking about what they want out of the next chapter of their lives. ⁠ ⁠ 🐻 Spring is generally a time of renewal, when everything is bright and colorful and the world is full of possibilities - especially this spring! One of the best parts of this time of year is thinking about all of the possibilities to come for college-bound students. They have new friends, new adventures, and new versions of themselves waiting for them and they're happily on their way there! ⁠ ⁠ 🐻 Even though a lot of the process can be stressful - from applying to deciding and everything in between - try to focus on the exciting parts, remembering you're on your way to getting the future you want for yourself. That's something to celebrate in itself! ⁠ ⁠ 🐻 BTW, I think Brother Bear is a highly underrated Disney movie! ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #collegeadmissions #collegebound #collegeprep #collegegoals #collegeapps #navigatecollegeapps #sacramento #sacramentosmallbusiness #highschool #classof22 #classof21 #disneyquote
😖 I remember being a stressed out high school s 😖 I remember being a stressed out high school student (and even law school student) and being SO annoyed when someone suggested I "take a break." Taking a break wasn't going to get my homework done any faster! I didn't have time to take a break!⁠ ⁠ 🙂 What I didn't understand then was that while it was true that taking care of myself wasn't going to help me get through my mountains of homework or reduce the number of tests I had to take in a given week, it would make me better able to handle those things.⁠ ⁠ 🏃‍♀️ Things like making sure you're getting enough sleep and exercising regularly might feel in the moment like things you don't have enough time for, but it's those things that are going to equip you to be able to do all the other things you have to do! ⁠ ⁠ ⏰ Making sure you're organized, using your time wisely, and writing everything down can keep you on track so you're not caught off guard, which also helps keep stress at bay. ⁠ ⁠ 💕 When you start to feel stressed out, check in to make sure you're doing the things that will help you manage that stress. I often find that things look much brighter after a quick nap! 😴 ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #collegeadmissions #collegeapps #mentalhealth #stressrelief #highschool #collegegoals #collegebound #stressedout #collegeprep #takecare #sacramento #sacramentosmallbusiness
🔍 Now is a great time for juniors to start doin 🔍 Now is a great time for juniors to start doing some college research and learning more about what's out there in terms of what colleges have to offer and what they specifically want out of their college experiences.⁠ ⁠ 🔍 There are something like 4,000 colleges in the United States - and you can probably name 10 off the top of your head. That means that there are thousands of colleges you don't know anything about! Rather than limiting yourself to the handful of colleges you already know, start doing some research! During spring of junior year, students should have a nice long list of schools they're interested in. This list isn't a list of schools to apply to, but rather a list of schools to learn more about. You can't determine where you want to go or what you want in a college unless you know what the options are! ⁠ ⁠ 🔍 Rather than going to google and typing in "best colleges in US" (this is a TERRIBLE way to find colleges!), you can use some college-specific research resources that have great ways to narrow down based on what factors are important to an individual student. Here are a few of my favorites!⁠ ⁠ ✨ Naviance - by far my favorite option. But students only have access to Naviance through their schools. So if your school has it, be sure to take advantage of it. If not, use the others!⁠ ⁠ ✨ Big Future from the @collegeboard ⁠ ⁠ ✨ Niche.com has a great college search service @nichesocial⁠ ⁠ ✨ @unigo also has ways to search by major, location, etc.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🔍I suggest trying a couple of different options so you can see what different research options come up with for you!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #collegeadmissions #collegeadvice #collegeapps #collegegoals #collegedreams #collegebound #classof2022 #highschool #naviance #collegeprep #sacramento #sacramentosmallbusiness
🌲 How is everyone doing this week? I've heard f 🌲 How is everyone doing this week? I've heard from some of you that school has been stressful lately and I hope that it lightens up for you soon! ⁠ ⁠ 🌲 I had a rare meeting-free afternoon this week and went to UC Davis to walk around the Arboretum. Have you been there? It's such a lovely place to walk! ⁠ ⁠ 🌲 It's sometimes hard for me to do things like that - I usually think of something I should do instead, something that would be more responsible or productive. But most of the time it turns out that when I have the opportunity to take a break, it does more good than harm to my levels of productivity. ⁠ ⁠ 🌲 I hope you get a chance to take a break soon - and that you actually take it, even if it feels like you shouldn't!⁠ ⁠ 🌲 How are you taking a break this week?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #collegeadmissions #collegeadvice #collegeapps #collegedreams #highschool #ucdavis #sacramento #sacramentosmallbusiness #takecare #stressrelief
