<p>‘The waiting is the hardest part…’ (Petty said it best!)</p>
<p>Two schools of thought: spend the time planning or sit back and take deep breaths. </p>
<p>You can occupy your whirling mind planning what to do if various scenarios present themselves: how will I make the choice between the dream school that’s a stretch financially and the affordable decent alternative, for example. It’s tough sometimes to figure out what to do with offers.</p>
<p>Or, you can take a break from the intensity of applying and auditions and just be a high school student. Know you’ve done what you can to present your best self. Or, if you’re second-guessing, forgive yourself and move on. </p>
<p>I suggest the second approach. I know you weren’t necessarily looking for advice, so I’ll also offer just sympathy and the 20/20 lookback to say ‘this too shall pass.’ Hang in there! It’ll be over soon!</p>
