The Beauty of Holy Cross: Flower Edition

As the winter season comes upon us, and the colors turn from bright reds and oranges to grays and whites, I thought it would be nice not to let go of the pop of color.

I mentioned in my first blog post that I enjoy taking flower photos. However, I️ did not disclose that I am an avid fan of this hobby!

Plus, I am fortunate enough that because Holy Cross is such a beautiful campus, that everywhere I walk there are flowers and flower beds. So, I decided that I would take pictures of the pretty flowers that crossed my path.

Here is a photo of a flower after the rain…

And a multi-colored flower bed…

Plus, let’s not forget about the purple and white flowers…
*Holy Cross tribute (I think so!)*

I am grateful that the Holy Cross campus is lovely. The many flowers spread around bring more beauty and joy to all those, like me, who walk the grounds daily.

Do you have any favorite flower photos from HC? Don’t worry if you do not; I have plenty more!

Thank you for stopping by.

Sincerely,
Serena

Early Decision- is it worth it?

I remember trying to answer these questions myself. Now, I want to help break down the questions for you!

For some seniors in high school, these thoughts may be swirling in their heads. What is Early Decision? Should I take the chance and apply?

Let’s tackle the first question: what exactly is Early Decision.

Simply, Early Decision (ED) is applying to a school early. Also, you will receive notification if you are accepted, deferred (to the Regular Decision pool) or rejected earlier as well. That is all. However, there is one caveat: if accepted, you are legally bound to attend the college and cannot apply to other schools.

Should I take the chance to apply?

If you know that the college is your first-choice, and you would LOVE to spend four years there, then go for it! But, if you have any hesitations about attending the college, consider waiting for the Regular Decision round. This way, you will have more time to think about the college you really want to attend.

Remember, you never want to rush into a decision and then regret the outcome.

Do you plan on applying ED?

Good luck!

Thank you for stopping by.

Sincerely,

Serena
