<li>Waiting to receive all my thin rejection letters</li>
<li>Start a fire</li>
<li>Burn them (with friends)</li>
<li>Rejoice</li>
</ol>
<p>Anyone doing something similar, if not, thinking of a better idea? :)</p>
<p>Hmm, my friends and I thought about going out on the school lawn and making a bonfire, but then we thought the administration probably wouldn't think that was such a hot idea.</p>
<p>The rejection I got wasn't vicious so much as it was crummy. Alas.</p>
<p>There are some schools that I've heard of that actually have a senior bonfire night where they all go and burn their rejections. lol</p>
<p>I use rejections as motivation to do better in college so I can go to a top grad school.</p>
<p>^but you don't need to keep the letters and read 'em over again :P</p>
<p>I shredded mine</p>
<p>i wish i had mine in hand so i could shred them....closure, you know?</p>
<p>but i still havent heard</p>
<p>at our school we used to have this thing called "the wall of rejection" where students could post up their rejections for everyone to see. It sounds like something you might not want to do, but when everyone puts them up it makes people feel like "hey, im not the only person who was rejected somewhere"...or "hey, that person was rejected somewhere too? i guess im not such a failure after all"</p>
<p>the new principal got rid of it last year, but hopefully they will reinstate it, i think its a healthy thing</p>
<p>I'd have to burn my computer and monitor if i want to see my Stanford rejection letter in flames. Or animate fire around it...hehe.</p>
<p>^DO IT!! :d</p>
<p>JD (my god, scrubs) I'm going to print out a copy of my Stanford letter. That and UCLA have been my only rejections, but I think I'm putting all my letters (all the acceptances and rejections) in my senior time capsule.</p>
<p>I'm just going to rip it apart and put it into the trash can...</p>
<p>I threw them away just like normal waste. So no special death. I hung them on a wall for a few months, but took them off because I needed wall space for my posters. Wasn't happy when I got them, but no reason to be bitter.</p>
<p>I open all my acceptance/rejection letters right at the mailbox. So when I opened one rejection letter, I laughed ripped it up and threw it into the sewer. Bad for the environment i know, BUT good for the soul! lol</p>
<p>^nah, paper is bio-de-gradable!</p>
<p>Haha Iirokotree. Noice.
Scrubs ftw! Ugh, Stanford. Got deferred. Then rejected. Longest four months of my life.</p>
<p>i would burn all the stuff from colleges i've been rejected (& most that i've been waitlisted from) except i dont want to accidently light my house on fire & i think burning some of the plastic booklets might release toxic fumes.....all i have to burn from stanford IS their booklet since they're not sending a paper letter..
so right now i'm just settling for dumping them in the garbage & then dumping real garbage on top of that</p>
<p>my friend said he's gonna use the paper to smoke with ahha</p>
<p>I have no rejection letters</p>
<p>benstone: lol!</p>
<p>At my cousin's big awesome private school (Phillips Exeter), people apparently post the rejections on a big bulletin board. </p>
<p>I kind of like the time capsule idea.</p>
