COMMENTS ARE CLOSED: So happy to be sharing with Amira (comment #11) Enjoy!!!
1st round of SAT's tomorrow morning (FYI: getting up before 8:00 a.m., on a Saturday, when you're a teen, is a sin, really) and my oldest girl (she's a junior) is stressing, BIG TIME.
Surviving high school is tough enough, right? In my opinion, the pressure for kids to achieve their life goal, by the age of 30, is a lot tougher today.
Frankly, it's not easy on us parents...either...practice tests, applications, essays, referrals, references and the promise to hand over her first born (no, not really) oh, my, but the college application process is VERY STRESSFUL!
I was contacted by Carolina Pad (diclosure: we've worked together before and I'm still using their awesome accordian file) about their newest product and I thought it would be a really great fit to share with families, like mine!
Carolina Pad's 17 Essential College Planner is designed in conjunction with the experts at Seventeen Magazine, is an all-in-one filing system to help keep the application process in order and on track.
Check it out!
The binder-style planner includes:
- Interior pages to log important college information and timelines (i.e. calendar, interview notes, master Checklist, and more!)
- Expandable files for loose papers
- 8 tab dividers to file applications by college
- 42 color-coordinated labels
Honestly, my 16yo has organizational issues (yes, she gets it from her mother) however, this planner is proving to be an invaluable tool in helping us keep track of ALL her college prep work.
This planner has EVERYTHING you need (and extra stuff you should consider) when beggining the college application process, keeping important papers, notices and letters at your fingertips and, well, it looks very prettiful, too.
She actually took it with on her 1st interview with a college rep (from Rider University) and is now using the planner to help her look for ANOTHER job....me, too :(
Oh, and it comes in a very prettiful shade of green (my favorite color) too!
Want one?
