Here are our recommendations for how to use your time for college planning:
• For All Students:
Create a structure to your day
Set your alarm, exercise, eat meals at regular times, get your schoolwork/classwork done
Keep your grades up
Explore intellectually
Read
Learn something new/find a new passion
Take an online course in either an offbeat field or a current field of interest
Already have a passion? Do a deeper dive: read up on it, research its history, write something about it, ...
Build something from scratch. Could be a bookcase or a loaf of bread
Explore a new art form
Know everything your iPhone can do? Ever shot a short film on it?
We’d love it if you’d shoot a quick video about your college aspirations, planning your Mentors 4 College mentor!
Send it to Mentors4College@gmail.com.
Grow something indoors (or if this lasts awhile, move outdoors!)
Help fix things around the house
Have concerns or questions? Contact your Mentors 4 College mentor
