<p>So, finally the stress for many of us is over. What do we do now till March 10th? Talk about the admission processes and surf the school websites every day? ._. God, that seems like a long long time... :P I just feel so empty right now, without the applications going on :P</p>
<p>Do you listen to music? I suggest making a 2014 BS Applicant Playlist. Everyone contributes three favorite songs. Recently over on a parent thread we did something similar and it was a lot of fun. Just a thought.</p>
<p>I tried telling myself that I would forget about the application the minute I sent it. That’s not gonna happen. I keep doing more research about Exeter. I will try to focus on my midterms and start freaking out on march 9th.</p>
<p>How about planning for the summer? Any interesting volunteer possibilities, coursework, independent study or projects?</p>
<p>My plan is to play sports that I couldn’t play enough of when I was completing applications and staying home studying for SSAT .</p>
<p>I really do like PhotographerMom’s idea. It would help everyone get to know each other a bit better, but without completely exposing our identities</p>
<p>That would be cool, as if we get in, it would be really awesome if we became friends.</p>
<p>and… RockComet, the stress isn’t over, it’s just starting.</p>
<p>@mrnephew I second that. Sooooo much stress right now. My stress levels are probably off the charts right now.</p>
<p>Exactly how I feel. It’s amazing how much one can go through in a two month period.</p>
<p>The human body is quite amazing, isn’t it? And to begin the list of three favorite songs form each person, I’ll give mine. I’m a jazz-guy, so my favorites are:
- Are You Real by Art Blakey
- The Way You Look Tonight by Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins, and
- Loose Walk by Dexter Gordon
Hopefully others will continue the list!</p>
<p>I can’t really recommend any songs, but check out Vitamin String Quartet; I listened to them when I wrote up my essays.</p>
<p>I’ve loved Hey There Delilah since I first heard it forever ago, and just downloaded it last night. I also love All Too Well by Taylor Swift, and Beautiful by Ben Rector.</p>
<p>My plan over these two months is to become a better sax player, work on my strength for baseball, and keep my mind of M10. Whenever I max-out on weights and get stuck, I always remind myself of how angry I was at being WL’d last year at both schools. The adrenaline starts flowing. One time, doing power-cleans, I yelled out “EXETER”. That got me some weird looks, but it worked.</p>
<p>I just hum American Pie to myself most of the time. Love that song, CTY was one of the greatest times of my life.</p>
<p>@mrnephew
I went to CTY this summer! I had the greatest experience and met awesome new friends. I was nice being able to meet fellow geeks.</p>
<p>Some songs that are really good are:
- Loud Pipes by Ratatat
- Giving Up The Gun by Vampire Weekend (But I suggest checking out all of their songs they’re really good)
- Sleep Alone - Two Door Cinema Club</p>
<p>@mrnephew / @rareparadox: I went to CTY too! But only once, two summers ago… American Pie is literally my anthem hahaha and @rareparadox I love Vampire Weekend/Two Door Cinema Club!</p>
<p>First, I meant *it. not I was nice to be able to meet fellow geeks.</p>
<p>@violinjaa
Ezra Koenig is my official celebrity crush. Intelligent, talented, AND good looking? Someone help me before I pass out from too much swooning.</p>
<p>Yeah, CTY was a good time. When I got rejected from Andover last year, I listened to green day’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams.</p>
<p>Send me an angel by Scorpions. That song is just… out of this world ^______^
Just sing it like Send me an admission XD</p>
