Have you ever been to a Farmer’s Market? That’s what Mom and I did on a Saturday morning in San Diego. It was HUGE! I mean, it rivaled my favorite farmers market on Sundays in Hollywood, it goes on for blocks and blocks! There we were with no choice but to walk the entire farmers market while we waited two hours to have brunch at Morning Glory. The great advantage of having time to kill meant that we stopped and tasted everything at almost every booth. We had the best nuts, tried some cool probiotic yogurt, homemade soup, and ate the sweetest and juiciest oranges. 

Today’s episode is about trying new things, expanding your mind, and asking yourself the ultimate question, what in YOUR life is worth waiting for?

To date, this day remains one of my favorite days of 2024. 

Enjoy my trip down the streets of San Diego!

Every senior has a story to tell. The problem is, they just don’t know how to get started. More than that, students do not understand that the college essay is NOT written in the style of an English or research paper.

After 20+ years in the business of college admissions, we’ve developed a teen proofed and battle tested formula that helps every student turn their story into interesting, engaging and compelling essays. 

Truth Talk Thursdays is where me and my guest take a deep dive in 1-2 essays unpack why it works and what makes it stand out. Tune in to today’s Destination YOUniversity podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Or, if you prefer to watch, find us on YouTube @dr.cynthiacolon71. 

The essays described today are found in the Free Sample Packet or 40+ Winning Essay Packet are all from Essay Campers! I highly recommend snagging your copy today!
