As you open the door to room A002, feelings of peace, joy and serenity fill you. Lindsey Barclay, Dominic Chappell, and Estefani Rondon’s voices soothe your college fears and for the first time during your senior year, you feel relaxed.

I’m not being dramatic, CollegeTracks is the best thing to ever come to Watkins Mill High School, and I’m going to tell you why.

The one thing on every senior’s mind (and some juniors’) is college, and we have a lot of questions about it. Such as, “Where should I apply? How do I apply? Which forms do I need to turn in first?” Luckily there’s a magical place called CollegeTracks to answer all these questions.

One of CollegeTracks’ best qualities is that they will never make you feel dumb or unprepared for not knowing something. No matter how weirdly specific or obscure your question is, they’ll have the answer you need, served with a smile. CollegeTracks is the Chick-Fil-A equivalent of a college preparedness organization.

CollegeTracks is also always open to your wildest criteria for schools. For example, I’m super picky about the schools I’m applying to. Along with my major, (as shallow as it is), I want cute colors and a cool mascot. Whatever school I end up going to I’m going to have to represent the rest of my life! Might as well do it in cute clothes. Whatever you want or need CollegeTracks will help you find your absolute perfect fit.

CollegeTracks is also the perfect place to go if you need a second opinion on your college essay. Go in with your best draft, because they won’t hold back. This is good though because wouldn’t you rather have your feelings hurt now? Or would you rather get rejected from your dream college because your essay was…well…something else.

Another great aspect of CollegeTracks is their flexibility. They’re open from 9am to 5pm every school day except for Wednesday. Although this makes Wednesday the worst day of the week, these hardworking people deserve a break for all they do here at Watkins Mill.

Finally, it’s impossible to argue with the price: FREE. There is literally no reason to not sign up. And look, if you do sign up and end up not liking it, there’s no judgement.
