006 | Successfully Transitioning from High School to College & COVID Gap Years

Listen Later

The transition from high school to college is already plenty stressful without the extra uncertainty that COVID has thrown into the mix. In today’s podcast episode I got to talk to Joanna Lilley, a treatment placement consultant and therapeutic gap year consultant about all of the topics that are on high school and college students' minds these days. We covered:

  • what to do if you aren't accepted to any colleges (0:42)
  • whether or not you should consider applying undecided (3:21)
  • how to prepare mentally for the transition to independence in college (6:12)
  • how to make friends in college (9:47)
  • practical skills you should prepare yourself with (13:00)
  • what options students have for not going to college right away (16:36)
  • how to explain your gap year decision to others (19:54)
  • the uncertainty of taking a gap year during the pandemic (24:09)
