January 2, 2023


It’s Week 52 and you are DONE! You have prepared and submitted your applications to every college on your list. You may or may not have gotten into one or two. Most of you are left with nothing to do but wait to hear from the colleges – and that is likely months away. So now what?


WEEK 52 TO-DOS



THIS WEEK
‍

  • Celebrate!

‍

  • Wrap up doing anything you need to do in response to the colleges you’ve heard from.

‍

  • Finish submitting your applications if there are any lingering. If the deadline is in February, get those applications in by January 15 at the latest.

‍

  • Finish your financial aid forms if there are any lingering.

‍

  • Respond to any invitations for interviews and interview.
    ‍


THIS WEEK AND EVERY WEEK
‍

  • Check your email, voicemail, texts, and snail mail for any communications that relate to applying to college. Read them and take whatever action is necessary.

‍

  • Update your parents about what you’re doing. This regular communication will work wonders in your relationship with your parents during this stress-filled year.
    ‍

‍

TIPS AND TRICKS



Celebrate. We doubt you need a huge amount of help figuring out how to celebrate, but you may not be sure exactly what you are celebrating, especially if you haven’t gotten into any of the colleges where you’ve applied. So let us tell you!

‍

  • You are celebrating that you have crossed a major milestone on this seemingly endless journey to college.

‍

  • You are celebrating all the accomplishments that you highlighted in your applications — every grade, every activity, every idea presented in your application represents an accomplishment. There are lots of them!

‍

  • You are celebrating all the life skills you’ve learned in the last 52 weeks, including how to manage a major project, how to roll with the punches presented by a global pandemic, and how to present yourself in your best light.

‍

This is all huge. HUGE. Celebrate it!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
