<p>I’m super-excited!! I also acknowledge that college won’t be a montage of sunshine and rainbows, but I’m really anxious to go even if there will be no unicorns. I love meeting new people, and I’m totally ready to dive into my major.</p>
<p>I was accepted to UPitt, which I really, really love, and now I’m just waiting on decisions from Penn and UC Berkeley. And honestly, whether I go to Pitt or Penn/UCB, I feel like I’ll be very happy and very challenged either way. I think I’m very lucky in that respect.</p>
<p>But really, I’m trying to hard not to succumb to senioritis… I’m going to accepted students day at Pitt soon, a graduation date is set, I’m applying for summer programs, I’m getting ready for Prom. Just wow. High school is almost over, and I’ll truly miss the people that braved it with me, but we’re about to start a new chapter.</p>
<p>I hope everyone is enjoying the last few months of their senior year and gets accepted to Harvard. :P</p>
<p>No, I too am a junior… and I go through phases of college obsession, lol. Right now I am in one of those phases. I am all about Appalachian State University and that is my dream school. I live in NC and am a slightly above average (if not average) student, so my dreams aren’t high, but they’re mine. </p>
<p>I research colleges ALL the time, watch videos on youtube, everything. I haven’t toured my school yet, but I probably will this summer. </p>
<p>But, I’m so ready to be out of high school and get on with my life… but thinking about leaving makes me sad, but like I said… I can’t wait.</p>
<p>Oh man, OP, I’m beyond pumped for college. But that’s only because I absolutely abhor this disgusting hick town and detest High School. Ugh. Not the best reasons for wanting to go, but I truly don’t feel like I belong here. I need to be on Broadway. In silly, low-budget indie films. I may be grossly idealistic, but I’ve always figured there’s no need to be cynical until there actually is, if that makes sense.</p>
<p>Phew. I had no intention on this turning into a diary post.</p>
<p>I feel that my senior year is flying by too fast. It’s already March and College Decision season is almost here! I really can’t believe how fast time flies! It’s very exciting to know that I’ll know exactly where I’m going by the end of this month! :D</p>
<p>I’ve been excited for college since like 8th grade. It’s a bit sad for me though because the school I want to get into is outrageously selective, but I want to get in so badly!</p>
<p>I think a while ago I had a few series of dreams about college. It was a bit odd, haha.</p>
<p>I’m also very excited to “spread my wings”, but I don’t really have room for mistakes right now. If anything high school should be longer so we could get more stuff done! Specially for students, like me, who are aiming to get accepted into a more competitive university.It’s terrifying and exhilarating all at once.</p>
<p>I can’t wait to go to college either! I already got into my absolute top choice/never-thought-it-was-gonna-happen school (MIT!!!), so going to school every day just to sit through boring, useless classes is just frustrating.</p>
<p>Yes! I can’t say that I’m 100% ready to leave because I know my stats are on the edge and need a boost. That’s why I didn’t skip my junior year; however, I feel I have outgrown my own school already! I’m two years ahead in math (AP calc. may not be a big deal but I’m the only one in my grade and only about the 3rd to ever stick it out from my school) plus taking dual enrollment English. Really, my school has no actual challenges to offer me anymore, and all my friends are leaving next year! My friends are basically my English class and my former math classes. Taking advanced courses really got me attached to them so much that I identify myself with them rather than the juniors now. I know that if I had skipped that we would all be going our separate ways, but its a different kind of loneliness when you’re surrounded by people you’ve known since elementary school but just don’t fit with as opposed to embarking on a new adventure and knowing your friends are going through something similar. I didn’t realize this until Christmas break! But now, I’m so ready for college! I know which school and which program (and yes, which residence hall ;)) I want! I’ve been working hard all my life so I can have a better foundation than I’ve had here in my hometown, and I’m ready for a fresh start! Can’t wait to meet new people, try new things, and rediscover myself! cheers to the classes of '13/‘14’/'15!!!</p>
<p>I’m excited for the prospect of only taking classes in what I enjoy. I could not slog through another four years of english and history.
I’m also excited for the prospect of being able to do things without having to worry about other people’s schedules affecting mine.
That being said, I’m leaving quite a few people behind that I’m going to miss dearly… I don’t know how the homesickness will get to me.</p>
<p>You aren’t alone - really! I’m an international student, and I can’t wait for college! SO sick of petty high school politics, though I’m sure college has plenty of that too. I stopped going to school regularly back in November. That’s how much I started hating it.</p>
<p>I’m in the 10th grade. I am from India. I knew I was going to the US since I entered High School. Lately I have done SOOO MUUCH RESEARCH on colleges. I know what colleges offer international merit scholarships and I know which ones I can get into. </p>
<p>No:/ I am sad that I only get three more months of high school. I don’t think any group of college kids can make me laugh as much as my friends in high school have. I am going to miss everyone so much next year. I even spent three days at WUSTL and still don’t think that the people there will ever compare to my high school friends/cross country team. But, hopefully I will be able to move on, as sad as that is. I am just going to try and enjoy every single last day of high school.</p>
<p>I just can’t wait to experience COLLEGE LIFE. Like, people say that high schools years are the best years of your life and while my high school years have been enjoyable, I feel that college will be even better because now that I’ve reached the height of maturity and understanding and about myself, I can start enhancing it in college!!! </p>
<p>I honestly can’t wait for graduation. 39 schools days left for me! :)</p>
<p>It’s going to be hard moving on from high school. I’ve know a few of my classmates sense the 7th grade and I’m just now starting to become good friends with some of them. I guess the most exciting part is knowing that all of us are going to different places next year furthering our education and actually doing something with our lives! :D</p>
<p>I’m excited to go to college!! Sometimes I step back realize that it’s been 4 years and that I’ll be graduating in a few months, which makes everything feel a little surreal. I think I’ll always miss high school in some way, but for now I’m ready to get out
It probably also helps that I went to a residential summer program for 2 months… I was nervous about college before that, but afterwards I was definitely pumped up about living away from my parents and etc, haha.</p>
<p>Yeah ever since I got accepted into my number one (and only) choice, I’ve just been reading a bunch of college stuff online everyday and I’m super excited! I read so much on the school and I basically have all of my freshman year planned out haha.
But I’m telling myself to just take it slow 'cause I still have a lot of time left of high school.</p>
<p>Anyone know that is it okay to get in good college even thought I will be 19 at that time?, Im sophmore now and im 17. I started school late but I got straight a’s so far, and my
counselor said I shouldn’t rush but take my time … I’m immigrant btw… Anyone?</p>
It’s already March and College Decision season is almost here! I really can’t believe how fast time flies! It’s very exciting to know that I’ll know exactly where I’m going by the end of this month! :D</p>
cheers to the classes of '13/‘14’/'15!!!</p>
