Yup, that’s right. Reading and writing is something you get better at the more you do it – an effort that can pay off when you take the SAT or ACT. Read books, magazines, blogs, and news articles so that you can strengthen your ability to analyze and synthesize information.
Instead, think about what’s important to you, your values, interests, skills, strengths and weaknesses. You want to spend your four years of college doing things which will help launch you into the rest of your life. Here’s four ways to start exploring career options before you settle on a major.
Yesterday’s Tip Of The Day was about not missing deadlines. Today is a perfect example. If you want to take the March SAT, you have until the end of the day today to register. Sure, you can register tomorrow, but you will pay a late fee and who likes late fees?
The college process is all about deadlines – applications, testing, scholarships, financial aid – don’t miss deadlines! If you do, you don’t get a second chance.
Better yet, find things that you believe in and which help you learn more about what you want to do with your life. Whether it’s through your high school or the local community – there are opportunities everywhere to start building your brand. Nothing you feel passionate about yet? Be willing to try something new.
