[quote=Anonymous]It's a really tough time of year for the seniors. Especially those with a ton of 11/1 deadlines!

We're trying to keep in mind that this is an exercise in building resilience. As stressful as it is, these kids will get through it and come out the other side knowing they can do/survive hard things. Just like midterm weeks and exam weeks in college.

When there's a deadline involved, it has always helps me to visualize myself the day after - feeling lighter and freer once the deadline is behind me. It's just a small mental reset, but I've been using it since college and it does seem to help me center myself and push through. Like the old saying, "This, too, shall pass," but with visuals - a little mental trick to put the moment of extreme stress into a larger timeline.

Again, I completely empathize. We're in a similar position here, including the fall sport. Ugh. Thankfully, that just wrapped up, and the rest of DC's app deadlines are 1/1 - 1/15 (with school deadlines of 12/8.)

GL to all!
