The College Process:
1. Work hard since kindergarten. (This can be compared to climbing a mountain in the Himalayas.)
2. Be involved. (Help out the environment on the way, throw the trash in your backpack, push some rocks to the side to make the path better for people taking the hike behind you. But make sure people know YOU'RE the one who did it.)
3. Research schools. (Yeah, I don't really know how to fit this into my awesome metaphor.)
4. Applications, Essays. (Right about now, you're thinking about turning back, but in your 12 years of education, you've learned that if you're already halfway there, you might as well keep going to the end.)
5. Waiting on replies. (You're pretty much at the top, but there's no oxygen up there, so you're suffocating and it's very sad.)
6. Remember that financial aid is important. (Again with the lack of an awesome metaphorical comparison.)
7. Then, BAM! You get in! (And this is like getting back down where there's more room, there's people to talk to, and YOU CAN BREATHE GODDAMMIT!)
