What's Up Lakefield

With only a couple of days left before Christmas break and so many things to complete for school, the university application process is just the extra piece of work that makes everyone go crazy. Since we started writing personal statements, visiting universities and applying to our first choice universities, the level of stress among the grade 12 is quite noticeable. Not only we put pressure on ourselves by trying to keep up our average while maintaining a social life, but our parents also have their input in all of this. I mean, I called my dad and he jokingly asked me if I was going to announce that I got into McGill when he knew that I applied only four days prior to that phone call. Everything has been a rush lately and it is hard to keep up with all the last minute work and decisions we need to make. It seems like everyone around me already know where they want to head off next year and are setting goals for themselves, but I have never thought that university would come so quickly! Hopefully Christmas break will give everyone some time to relax and enjoy the holidays without having to think about serious matter for once!
