Spring comes along, and your school year seems to pick up momentum. A little over 3 months may seem like a long time until summer, but if you're as busy as most high school students are, those months move by pretty quickly.
It's important to not get too caught up in the swoon of spring fever, and keep your eyes on your road to post high-school plans. There are a plethora (look it up!) of options including colleges and universities, community colleges, gap-year programs (a year off before going on to higher ed.), military enlistment, to name a few.
Most juniors gearing up for a four-year college should have their game plans laid out, with the help of parents, guidance counselors, and plenty of research (check out http://www.collegeboard.org if you haven't already.) Considerations for early admissions, familiarity with credit requirements and a number of other basics can make your process smooth and organized.
Seniors should be well on the way to having applications in and plans for financial aid. Final college visits can be helpful if there are still choices to be made.
This can be a nerve-wracking, but also exciting time of life: you have a the big Move ahead, but with planning it will be one of the most fulfilling times of our life! Best of luck!
