“Every bride thinks she’ll be chill and every mom thinks she won’t get insane about the college process,” observes Jessica G. Hartshorn. Famous last words, as she admits in her latest: “Ahahaha the number of times I’ve advised friends, ‘Don’t let your child apply to more than ten schools!’ Well, there are 15 and counting on my son’s current list,” she admits.
This very funny and self-aware piece outlines the similarities she’s discovered between the two processes, from the fact that you have to start a year in advance to the reality that everybody is going to share their opinion, even when you do not want their opinion. Then, of course, there’s the absolutely staggering price tag, which always seems higher than you expected… and you expected it to be pretty high.
Forewarned is forearmed, right? Right???
