With application deadlines in the rearview mirror, it is that time of year to give thanks to those who helped you with the college application process. Writing a simple thank you note can go a long way.

Consider the following people –
– Your high school counselor – although you may not be best buds, your counselor did write a letter of recommendation for you and made sure to get your transcript out to the colleges in a timely manner.
– Your teachers – they have personal lives too, but they made time for you during the busy holiday season to write wonderful letters for you that were full of praise. Now is the time to return the favor.
– You coach – if they were an integral part of your athletic recruitment, be sure to say how much you appreciated their help.
– Your friends – whether one of them wrote a peer recommendation for you, or if they supported you when you were frustrated with the mounds of essays you had to conquer, let them know you are happy they are your friends.
– Your parents – they may be the most overlooked when giving out thanks, but they put up with you when you were indecisive and procrastinated, paid for all those application fees and most all – gave you loving support as you navigated this wonderful process
