calling the college application season stressful would definitely be an understatement. one way to keep yourself sane is organization. if you know exactly what essays to write and when to write them, it will make your life a lot easier.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

make a list<\/h2>\n

make a list of all the essays you have to write and the topic of each one. a visual organization will make it easier to see if you can reuse essays with similar topics. plus, there\u2019s something comforting about having everything in front of you so you know you\u2019re not forgetting anything.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

set deadlines<\/h2>\n

set deadlines weeks before the real due dates. that way, you\u2019ll make sure you stay on track and won\u2019t be stuck working on an essay the night before it\u2019s due.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

schedule work periods<\/h2>\n

schedule specific times for working on college applications when you know you won\u2019t have a lot of homework. although it seems hard to balance all the extra work, it\u2019s very possible if you schedule correctly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

don’t panic<\/h2>\n

the best way to stay organized and keep your life together is to remain calm. don\u2019t worry too much about the future. just focus on the actual content of your applications and try to make them the best you possibly can.<\/p>\n
