The end of the year is rapidly approaching and you may begin feeling excited, tired, worried about your future and perhaps very stressed.  This month I’ll cover the following topics:

• What to do if you didn’t get into your first choice colleges
• End of the year stress
• Some stressors
• How to manage stress

For those of you who didn’t get into your preferred group of colleges there is still hope.  Some of the University of California schools continue to accept applications and are open in various majors.  It will take some research on your part but if the UC system is where you want to be it will be worth the time and energy to inquire by phone, email or individual college websites.  Additionally, some out-of-state colleges and California State Universities continue to accept applications.  The two-year colleges and training programs will begin to accept applications in mid-May. 

As an aside, now is the time to begin searching for that summer JOB!
