<p>OMG...how insane is it that this coming week high school seniors from all over the world will find out where they are going for college!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I am scared ****less.</p>
<p>Lol it's not quite that bad.</p>
<p>Twenty years from now we're going to look back and laugh at our present selves.</p>
<p>yes, like how I'm laughing right now. I'm way ahead of you guys XD (well no I just don't take anything seriously)</p>
<p>good luck banana_girl!</p>
<p>I think everything we're doing right now is like rolling a big snowball..</p>
<p>When we apply to grad schools in 4 years, we will be like.. this is everything we've been doing for the last 8 years! This is what 4 years of high school, 4 years of college amount to!</p>
<p>And when we are applying for a job we truly want, we'll include our college/grad school to our resume to make the snow ball bigger..</p>
<p>good luck! :)</p>
<p>but snowballs are fun. this is more like a tumbleweed.</p>
<p>oh stressed out u have the best comparison</p>
<p>first its the peeling onion layers</p>
<p>now rolling a snowball haha</p>
<p>ucsd bonfires here we come!!!!!!</p>
<p>Sad that you consider highschool 'suffering'...</p>
<p>It's not the end if you don't get in. Calm.</p>
<p>yay-
it's like, this is the huge bottom of a snowman, then grad school will be like the middle (smaller, less insane--we have experience selling ourselves now, wiser, etc), then it gets a bit smaller when we settle into our careers.
Totally random, quite flawed metaphor, but what the heck--I love snowmen!!</p>
<p>I still say it's a freaking tumbleweed.</p>
<p>on a much more cynical note, however..
What reward do we reap by piling life high with such snowballs??
We melt.
:(</p>
<p>tumbleweeds are peaceful, though</p>
<p>not if you live on the north or south pole... XD</p>
<p>tumbleweeds are peaceful? maybe to you, but tumbleweeds are definitely not peaceful for me. They might as well be signs of Beezlebub.</p>
<p>quoi? I thought they were just in Arizona/Nevada/Texas. You know, Westerns. And some cartoons. I may have to rethink this now.</p>
<p>oh, no. I meant snowmen don't melt on the poles...</p>
<p>two words: global warming</p>
<p>yeah well... we'll be dead by the time snowmen melt at the poles due to global warming, or at least I'll be dead by then, with any luck.</p>
<p>yes, 'twas a flawed metaphor, I must admit. I'd like to hear more on the subject of tumbleweeds, however.</p>
<p>Back to topic--I'm lucky to be flying away from my mailbox tomorrow for almost the entire week. (visiting accepted schools) My only fear is that, upon my return, my parent will snatch the mail from me and I will have to judge her face to determine the results...sigh..
I'm happy enough as it is, though.</p>
<p>[random]
Well actually, scientists predicted that all of the polar ice caps will have melted by 2040. So I guess our snowmen would have melted by then as well.
[/random]</p>
<p>which scientists? what are your sources?</p>
<p>anyway
I also hate it when my parents get to my mail before I do. The maternal unit used to be good with disregarding my mail, but now she is curious about everything I get from any college, spam or not. I would hear the sound of envelopes being ripped open upon walking in the door and ask "why are you opening my mail?" "because it might be something important." "... that makes no sense!"</p>
