We love emojis. I think they are great. One image conjures up all the "swell" feelings...well, this week, I had to say Congrats so many times to each student who happened to tell me where they had been accepted to...I smiled. I also know I heard one or two rejections. But as easily as I can smile at an acceptance, it is hard to console those who did not make a preferred choice.

I say please allow it to wash off a duck's back, slide and forget about it. My 25 years of counselling has told me that everyone gets a shot and if they do not, there is always a reason. It is too early in the game to start commiserating...but just for those who are, I understand...but buckle up, it will be fine in the morning...

SAT deadlines for registering is NOW! Get cracking....
