5 Tips for Preparing for your First Day Back to High School!
1. Practice Sleep Schedule: This is one I definitely should do. If you are like me and are the absolute worst at waking up on time, you need to practice waking up in the morning so you are not late on your first day. My number one tip- SET MORE THAN ONE ALARM ON MORE THAN ONE DEVICE. I personally have about 7 alarms set on my iPhone and also an actual alarm clock because, for whatever reason, my iPhone is notorious for having the alarm screen up as if it is going off and no noise coming out. And trust me, my sound is on and my volume is…

This post is going to be very similar to this post: Tips for Applying for and Choosing your College!, with a few changes! There are several different scholarships available out there for all different types of people and are awarded for all different reasons. There are ones for the college you will be attending, the major you plan to pursue, and even ones for your specific county! There are also general scholarships open to everyone, but those tend to get more applicants and are therefore harder to get. Scholarships can be awarded for Academic Achievement, Financial Need, and Merit Achievement, so choose the ones you feel are geared towards your strong…

Tips for Applying for and Choosing your College!
Choosing which Colleges to Apply for: My main tip for choosing which schools to apply to is to follow your heart and choose the schools that have the majors you want to pursue. Everyone gets in their heads that there are schools that they should not apply for because they believe they will not et in or they feel like they cannot go there because that is not what their parent want or they think they cannot afford it. Even if you think you will not get in, take the chance. If you do not, you will regret it. You never know what a college is going to think about…

My Experience: STEP
Back in June I attended a program at the College of Textiles at NC State for rising seniors known as STEP (Summer Texile Exploration Program). I found this program back in January 2016 because I was researching schools in North Carolina that offer a fashion merchandising major (which is not that many). I read that STEP was a week long program at the Textile College that explored every major and gave students the chance to focus on one specific major and do a project related to that major. This program is about 5 days long over the summer and made specifically for current high school juniors (will be rising seniors…
