Intro Blog

Senior year is flying by! I can’t believe we’re already past the halfway point. The first half of the year went by smoothly. It was weird starting a different schedule halfway through the year, but I like the new electives I am taking. College applications took up a lot of my time towards the end of the fall and throughout the holidays. Between the Common Application and all the extra essays, I spent just as much time working on things for college as my regular schoolwork—or maybe more! I was completely finished with all my applications only two days before the New Year; I was planning to be done much earlier in the school year, but things got pretty crazy towards the end of fall what with a very successful soccer season made even longer by Hurricane Sandy. It was awesome being undefeated League Champs, beating our rival Cresskill, and making it all the way to the state sectional finals for the first time in school history. I could not have asked for a better way to end my soccer career at New Milford High School. This season of indoor track has also proved to be my most successful yet, so I am definitely enjoying these last few weeks of indoor track before outdoor track begins a new season. I had four alumni interviews for colleges I applied to. So far I have been accepted to the University of Vermont and Villanova University, but I am still waiting to hear from six more colleges!
