The upcoming holidays are always fun, but they can also be stressful for high school seniors. Friends home from college and relatives in town for Thanksgiving dinner all want to know: "Where are you going to college? Where have you applied? What do you want to do for the rest of your life?"
So when I read this comment from my friend, Scott Anderson, at the Common Application, I thought it was worth posting.
"You know what goes great with turkey? Gravy. You know what doesn't? Questions about college applications. Give the high school seniors in your life a break. They'll be very, very thankful."
That sentiment is good for the entire holiday season. Give the seniors in your life a break, and while you're at it, help deflect those well-intentioned questions, so that break will last just a little longer.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
