contributors from the publisher publisher Pam Mashburn New School Year— New You! managing editor Angie Hayden It's time to get organized and enjoy all things fall (tailgating especially!) I've got two in college now and I'm still learning new things from all of our contributors and writers. Here's some truths I found for Senior Year: art director Heather Cooper graphic design Heather Cooper Shelby Berry • College tuition rates never go down • Colleges come in different sizes and it may take several tours to find the one for you • ACT scores are REALLY important for merit scholarships • It's hard for parents to not hover and helicopter when college costs so much • FAFSA sounds really boring (and it kinda is) but it's super important to complete early • Admission counselors should be your new BFF (they are so resourceful!) • Senior year is a lot more fun than it was when I was a kid Whatever the grade, we've got some great articles and resources that I hope will motivate and encourage you to start the year strong. Please send your thoughts, advice and suggestions—We're all in this together! Wishing you blessings and a terrific school year! editorial contributors Angie Hayden Savanna Pruitt Allison B Hendley Jaime Maddox Reggie Parker Megan Dorsey Cortlin Chavis Callie R.
