Bluestreak Books is partnering with me for a giveaway!

Applyin for college can be intimidating. It was for me when I applied years ago. These days the standards are even higher. Not only do you need to complete applications for the schools you want to attend, but you also have to make sure you score well on tests, get glowing recommendations, write a killer essay and shine in your activities. But even though being accepted into college can seem big and overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be.

That’s where Seventeen: College Goals comes in. This stress-free guide—part-planner, part-journal—will help walk you through the step-by-step process of applying to colleges.

There are pages filled with practical cheat sheets, handy life hacks, thoughtful tips, fun quizzes, inspiring quotes from your favorite celebs and leaders, and prompts that will push you to self-reflect. This way, you can freak out less about if you’ll get in, and actually start thinking about which school’s offer you’re going to accept.

My youngest daughter Kayla is in her sophomore year of high school. It kind of feels like the year has flown by. There are less then six weeks left before the school year ends. It seems surreal that she will be a junior next year!

When the Seventeen College Goals book arrived in the mail, it caught Kayla’s eye with the bright colors on the cover.

Seventeen: College Goals Book

Flipping through the book she was surprised it was not just a how to book when it comes to college. It has pages where she can add information. There is a to do list for junior year that includes things like:

Read, read and read some more

Look into scholarships

Take challenging classes

Find out about SAT registration

There are cheat sheets and life hacks throughout the book that give self care tips, how to be study savvy, handling stress tips, ways to keep up with old friends and more. We both like there is plenty of space to write in the book. My daughter can practice essay writing, keep track of recommendation requests and keep track of the pros and cons of her favorite schools all in one place.

Kayla likes to write so the journal pages will be put to good use.

How is this beauty going to be 16 in July? I just don’t understand it. This is her face when I told her there were 39 days left in the school year. Apparently she doesn’t count the weekends!

Seventeen: College Goals is the perfect companion for your high school Junior. It is full of helpful information that will help them make informed decisions when it comes to college. From the mini quizzes to the cheat sheets, this book will come in handy!
