How to Use Your Summer

If you have recently graduated from high school, use your summer to get ready for the fall in college. Communicate with your roommate and coordinate who is bringing what so you don’t end up with two refrigerators and no television. Save money if you have a job. You may be surprised how little expenses add up on campus.

If you are a junior in high school, use the summer to update your resume and write those college application essays. That way you will hit the ground running when school begins and be ready to apply to colleges in the fall. That will place you in the proper time sequence for admission and scholarship competitions. Don’t forget volunteer work and update that resume!!
