It’s that simple. Throughout my college admissions process, I’ve tended to let things build up. For example, on my floor I have a “Guide of USC” book. USC is the University of Southern California.
Am I going to go there? No way. It’s too far away for me at this point in my life. But, I’ve let the yellow and purple book with friendly faces on it just sit there (and other places) for months, as if it’s important. If there’s any lesson one can learn in life, it’s to learn to throw irrelevant stuff away, especially while going through the college admissions process. Less is more in this case. I feel so much better after doing a purge of my room.
