It’s that time of year where all across America high school kids are learning about a very important next step in life — many are getting their college acceptance letters. 

For kids that applied for early action or early decision, this is around the time they get their decision letters. And if you need a smile, look no further, because some of the ways kids and their parents are announcing their acceptances are sure to warm your heart.

Some students record videos of them opening their letters and celebrating their success with loved ones.
