2. Come to the Brown Bag College Meetings! Don’t waste this opportunity every week by
coming to an information session on Wednesday in Room. 162. College counselors will teach
and help you with anything you may find confusing during the college application process.
There will be guest speakers sharing their experience with you too.
3. Come by the counselors’ office! All of our counselors are very friendly; you are more than
welcomed to ask questions, talk about concerns or just simply say hi! Don’t be nervous to
talk to them, they love meeting the students and Mr. Voss will be extra happy if you bring
him a gift :)
4. Have fun! Being the last year of high school, your senior year should be a mixture of study
and fun. Hanging out with friends, going to a movie together and participating in school
events, your life could be even more colorful than the previous years. Seniors rock!
At last, good luck to all the seniors! And be reminded: your hard work will eventually pay off!

Get to know more about the colleges you are applying! There is a good way if you
want information about colleges: Contact the admissions offices and ask them to give
you the contact information of some students you can speak with.

Think more about choosing your college! You can spend a little time each day
thinking about the colleges you want to apply to and why? You should be openminded in this process.

applications and essays. It will help you focus on your work and be efficient.
