Applying for College

Applying for college is a truly tiring task,

"Why is this true?", some underclassmen may ask.

Many weeks are spent stressing about personal statements,

While parents are saving up to pay for tuition payments.

When applications are submitted, you may feel stress free,

Only to realize that colleges may not like what they see.

As months pass and acceptance letters are sent out,

High school seniors' minds are filled with nothing but doubt.

A piece of advice: Do not worry and just try your best,

And let fate be the one to take care of the rest.

<p>My favorite part of this poem is the fact that I experienced the stress of applying for colleges only a couple months ago. Wanting nothing but a perfect essay, I spent weeks collaborating with college friends in order to improve my essay. My overall message to underclassmen is that they should try their best. As long as they are putting in true effort into high school, they shouldn't have a problem getting accepted into one of their dream schools.</p>
