To anyone who is in high school, I have one suggestion to make your next year much more interesting: go study abroad next year! Imagine an experience where you get to travel, meet interesting people, not have to do your homework, eat new food, experience a culture in the most in depth way possible, work towards world peace, learn a new language and then get an amazing thing to put on college applications. That experience that your thinking of is an understatement of what study abroad has to offer. It is by far the most rewarding and exciting thing I have ever done and I would highly recommend it to pretty much anyone. Application deadlines are approaching so apply soon for the greatest adventure you can go on in high school!
