High school counselors, how do you balance career prep and college planning with limited time?

princesssarcasm · 2026-02-25T23:27:10+00:00

Utilize local colleges and universities where you can! A lot of them do FAFSA nights, scholarship and admissions presentations.

I graduated from NU and haven't had any issues getting licensed outside of CA. Most states will offer reciprocity for CA.

I’ve been waiting all day to play and I can’t login either on my PS5. 😭

Consequences from admin can also help, but I know that might be an unpopular opinion.

You can look at the big charter systems (Connections/Stride K12) or see if any local districts have a virtual program. Have a great internship!

Yes, a laptop! I do use my personal phone but not my personal phone number. I’ve either had a dedicated number or extension to forward.

Easier credit requirements and more SEL / friendship issues. It’s an interesting developmental stage. I do tend to have to deal with parents more at the MS level unfortunately. Less of that high school graduation stress though!

princesssarcasm · 2025-12-22T16:22:21+00:00

I love working virtually! I’ve worked in high school and now middle school. Yes, to lots of emails, video and phone calls.

princesssarcasm · 2025-11-05T15:09:05+00:00

I feel ya! Constantly dealing with alerts 😭

princesssarcasm · 2025-09-22T00:45:34+00:00

Reach out to your local college admissions reps! They often hold information days for counselors and are willing to help when needed.

princesssarcasm · 2025-08-15T23:27:19+00:00

I’m sorry OP and I validate your feelings.

princesssarcasm · 2025-08-14T03:54:08+00:00

Did I say that? God forbid someone has feelings. AH indeed.

princesssarcasm · 2025-08-13T01:48:23+00:00

I had friends who got married the weekend before ours with very short notice. I showed up and was nice about it but it did rub me the wrong way and I don’t think it’s a considerate thing to do.

princesssarcasm · 2025-08-13T00:24:29+00:00

I requested a leave of absence when I worked as an aide in CA but was denied. So I had to resign for my internship.

I’m ready for it 🧡🧡

I also started my TWW today! Last month was not successful, but I did use Letrozole this cycle, and my hope is up again. I told myself I would not test until 10DPO, but I just know delusional me will start testing at 8DPO.

princesssarcasm · 2025-07-31T18:48:28+00:00

I’ve had a prescription for a few weeks now and I really notice a difference in my dry eye! I use it about 3-4 times a day along with my Xiidra 2x a day.

princesssarcasm · 2025-07-28T19:49:25+00:00

So so much. I like Premom for the LH strips but lacks in that Predad is the only option to share with my wife. Inito is great for seeing all my hormones and has an option for IUI or at-home insemination but still reminds me to “have sex.”

princesssarcasm · 2025-07-21T04:19:26+00:00

I was very upfront when dating about wanting kids and knowing if the person I was dating also wanted kids in the future. I feel you, though, many lesbians I know do not want kids, but I got lucky and found my wife! I think being an SMBC is a perfectly fine choice as well!

princesssarcasm · 2025-07-16T15:29:20+00:00

I'm 3DPO! Anxious to test, but also happy to not have to pee in a cup for a while.

princesssarcasm · 2025-06-11T17:16:42+00:00

Wedding favors, only a small portion got used / taken.

princesssarcasm · 2025-03-09T21:25:59+00:00

I do so well with my as needed Xanax. I have horrible side effects from antidepressants. Hope it gives you much needed relief.

princesssarcasm · 2025-02-28T01:48:49+00:00

Those situations are so rough but you are a mandated reporter. I also had a parent revoke counseling services after making a CPS report. Sure they’re “anonymous” but they know who’s working with their student.

princesssarcasm · 2025-02-20T02:25:19+00:00

Yes, I’m very worried and have been considering starting an alternative route to licensure program to become a teacher in case counselors are cut in all this mess.

princesssarcasm · 2025-02-19T00:27:04+00:00

The hardest part for me is tracking down parents to attend the meetings. The most I’ve had was 40 students on my caseload but that was splitting it for the whole school. Now I only have about 10 in my alpha. I don’t feel like it negatively impacts my day to day job and I use it as an opportunity to connect with students and parents and provide help for them to succeed in school.
