<p>okay no religous anarchy intended but ASSUMING you are Christian (or not) and/or celebrate christmas (or whatever special holiday)..which one did you recieved more jitterbugs...as an 8 yr old coutning down christmas from the beginning of december...or awaiting you admissions decision as a a senior in hs from your top choice school?</p>
<p>sad as it is...i think i'd have to go with christmas...</p>
<p>admission decisions, this is the beginning of our whole adult lives (although when super nintendo came out, out damn i was glued to the tv)</p>
<p>for me it might actually be the admissions decisions... i usually could take a pretty solid guess at my what Christmas gifts were ahead of time, but college admissions can be random (which = anxiety)
...but maybe Christmas was low-stress because i have a mid-December birthday that kinda eases the pressure off Christmas a little earlier.</p>
<p>definitely Christmas, I knew I was going to be rejected</p>
<p>defintely admissions...i mean, its like the most important decision that will be made about your life...in many ways, it determines ur future.</p>
<p>Xmas was never super exciting for me anyway.</p>
<p>Admissions...I love Christmas, but we are on Winter Break for the week leading up to Christmas so you are relaxed...I have school this week (my Spring Break was last week) so I have work and worrying at the same time...its pretty stressful!</p>
<p>Having break and waiting is so much worse. At least you have things to keep yourself occupied. Kids on break have not much else to do except worry. I like break, but i wish break came after decisions, rather than before</p>
<p>same situation, Aaron, I completely agree... being on spring break this week sucks, w/ the looming threat of decisions later in the week</p>
<p>Oh c'mon...u guys cant be complaining. Im in a pool at Duke where 1%> is accepted...i should be the one complaining ;)...:) (had to say that)</p>
<p>ADMISSIONS DECISIONS DEFINITELY! Well, actually, I was a spastic kid at 8 years old and now I am a spastic 18 year old . . . SO I think it does not matter. But as of now, adissions decisions have me all anxious and stuff. DUKE IS THE LAST SCHOOL I HEAR FROM AND MY TOP CHOICE SCHOOL!!!! 36 HOURS (CENTRAL TIME) TILL A DECISION IS POSTED! TILL IT IS ALL OVER. I AM ACTUALLY NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS> It is depressing because after all this hard work for four years and this hectic senior year, everything is winding down. in the next month, I will have to have made a decision, cleared up financial issues, and have fallen in love with one of my five schools( five including Duke. . . )!</p>
<p>i didn't make one of those construction paper countdown chains for the decision, so I'd have to go with Christmas. I am really nervous about the decision but, unless the financial aid offer is great, I probably won't be able to go. And for it determining the rest of my future, I would pin that award on med school.</p>
<p>I was always busy during my break just hanging out with friends...that makes the time go really fast...(too fast!)....and I was waiting for decisions (NWestern and Davidson were on Saturday...</p>
