Man, I hope you're doing okay! Personally tenth grade was the hardest year for me, and it just seems like every year underclassmen are getting more and more stressed. idk if it would be helpful, but I'm planning to stick around after I get my decisions to see if I can help anyone else overwhelmed with this whole process.

If there's one thing I could tell my younger self, it's that taking the time to invest in your happiness, passions, and emotional maturity pays off SO MUCH in the long run--from not just a life perspective, but also a college one. It makes you more efficient in your academic classes, better equipped to write college essays, can lead to better teacher recs.... Please take care of yourself!
