Anchors Away: Applications, Engagement, and Logging Off

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what really happens during application reading season and what student engagement looks like throughout the process. We talk about how applications are reviewed, the ways students show up during this time, and what that means for counselors on both sides of the desk. As the holiday break approaches, we also reflect on the importance of logging off, setting boundaries, and giving ourselves permission to unplug and recharge. Whether you’re deep in application review or counting down to winter break, this episode is a reminder that rest is part of the work, too.
