I turned in the last of my 17 college applications a couple weeks ago. The moment I clicked that final ‘submit’ button, the weight of the world toppled off my shoulders. Although I still await acceptance (and rejection) letters come March, I can’t help but celebrate the completion of each grade listed on the transcript …
