Calling all pre-collegiates!

On my personal blog, a senior in high school messaged me and asked me, “Does it really get better?” She was stressed with taking AP classes and worried about her grades even though I could tell she was pretty studious. I gave her my bit of advice and she seemed a lot more relieved.

I’m a second year student in college. If my school had some sort of Big Sister, Little Sister program or some other mentorship program, I would be apart of it because I absolutely love reaching out to people and giving them advice. So in the spirit of Christmas, I would like to give 1 senior in high school a really fun college guide book (it will be one of the ones seen below). I will leave my own personal notes in it to help guide you along the way of being a first year college student.

RULES:

• You do not have to be following me (but you probably are if you are reading this).
• The giveaway is mainly open to high school seniors but high school juniors may enter.
• You must live in the United States. 
• The first 12 girls who send me a message in my inbox with the college they want to go to the most and what they want to major in will be entered in the drawing. 
• The runner up will get a Christmas card or a $5 gift card or both.
• The contest will close on December 12th at midnight.
• The winner will be announced on December 15th. If the winner does not respond within a certain amount of time the runner up will be the winner and so forth.

May the odds be in your favor!

*Edit: I originally had “the first ten girl”, but I decided to leave it open to twelve.
