“No matter where you are, you are not alone and you’re not behind, okay?”

And I just, I wanted to share some things that I think would particularly help seniors. So, first of all, my first realization of this week was that you are not behind at all. Every single person that I know was talking about this feeling that they’re behind, okay? I’m talking the smartest of the smartest, the best of the best. I’m talking people, you know, if we, who, we share the same boat, we each have the same like grades, same like level of comprehension of things, like we are literally, we have the same level of abilities and a lot of different things and we were like, we still were panicking just as much as the people who were more competitive than us and less competitive, competitive than us. It didn’t matter how competitive they were, if they had the same feeling. And so, no matter where you are, you are not alone and you’re not behind, okay? It’s just, it’s a common feeling amongst all.

And so, the reason I also say you’re not behind is because I think that, like realistically, speaking from, you know, the beginning of September, we have a long time before college apps are due. And yes, there are some scholarships that go out like earlier and like, you know, they close up faster or whatever, but realistically this is the very beginning, we still have a lot of time to prepare. We have a lot of time to add new activities to our list and take on more volunteering opportunities and do whatever, and even if we don’t do like, like two things, even if we do a single item, that’s still good like, even if you add a singular thing to your list of activities until college apps you’re good, like it doesn’t have to be a big thing, you know. Even if you don’t add anything at all like who’s to say that your application isn’t already spectacular. Just because you think it’s bad does not mean that it’s bad. Okay, and trust me we are really bad at judging stuff, like, we are notoriously bad.
