Open thread: while your kid waits to hear back on college applications

A place to let off steam

This week’s public post reminded me how it felt to wait for responses to college applications. Man, it was tough. We sat on pins & needles and tried to ignore the big, flashing question mark that was our future.

For those of you whose kids are planning on college: are you feeling it right now?

You’re welcome no matter where your family is on the educational journey (still waiting to hear, heard from some schools but still waiting on others, done & decision made, not going to college, going to community college, taking time off, whatever). You might be celebrating, managing disappointment, feeling settled, feeling more confused than ever, or in that limbo place, waiting. Wherever you are, you’re invited.

Meet you on the other side of the paywall…
