Applying to college can often feel like a daunting task. For many applicants, figuring out what to write tends to be more challenging than actually filling out the applications and writing the essays.

That’s where the College Essay Journal comes in.

Over 30 days you will be asked to share aspects of your identity, values, and goals by answering guided questions. The end result will be the foundation for thoughtful and honest applications filled with genuine essays that capture who you are as an individual.

Ultimately, the College Essay Journal draws out your voice, strengths and personal qualities in a mindful and positive way.

 
 
 
What is Mindfulness.png

Mindfulness means being fully present in your mind, body, and feelings. To be mindful is to be aware in the moment without adding judgment or interpretations to reality.

By using a mindful approach, the College Essay Journal slows down the brainstorming and essay writing processes. This allows for true reflection and deep thinking to occur.
