Yesterday my son hit the send button for the last time. That is, he applied to the last college on his list. We had a little party.

Now we are in the waiting game as the schools make their decisions over the next few weeks and months. A nerve-wracking time but actually kind of freeing.

At this moment, as a high school senior he has done everything that he could possibly do – hard work, extracurriculars, recommendations, great essays, college visits, and on and on. There is not much else to do at this point, except enjoy the last part of senior year being careful to avoid a nasty case of senioritis.

Stay tuned. There is college in our future.
