Honestly, senior year can feel like a total whirlwind, especially with college applications on everyone's mind. One thing that really helped me was creating a clear timeline for each school I was applying to. I started with major deadlines—like when I needed to submit my Common App, financial aid forms, and Letters of Recommendation.
I also made a checklist for each school that included what essays I needed to write and any school-specific requirements. It kept me super organized and made sure I didn’t have any last-minute panic sessions!
