Never ever, have I wanted to say PHEW after an AP as much as with this one! It really bore me down into the bone. It's has been a bit difficult for me to understand what I am even writing, college doesn't yet feel like this tangible thing to me. I think this AP helped ground the idea of what college is going to give me (and what I'm giving colleges) which has helped me choose 3 career paths I can confidently say I will enjoy and be paid well for!
Now the money part of this AP may seem very daunting, but I promise it's not! I have not at all factored in scholarship money or any other financial help I may receive for college. But if you want to look more into my data and how I made all those rad charts and tables, here's a link to my spreadsheet!
Thank you for reading this daunting and haunting AP, best wishes, Mena!
