Freaking OUT: The miserable lives of seniors

<p>Seriously.</p>

<p>I call an emergency...I've never been this anxious in my life before. I swear I'm on the brink of a nervous break-down.</p>

<p>I mean, I've been working on my personal statement for a MONTH, and no dice at ALL.</p>

<p>My GPA is down the drain, it's too late to fix that.</p>

<p>And the SAT II Literature exam is in a month. Knowing me, who fail at literature miserably, it'll just be a heck of a fun ride :(</p>

<p>I have a major project/exam EVERY OTHER DAY. (curses IB)</p>

<p>Seriously. And I have to cut classes for college visits, which I shouldn't be doing...</p>

<p>Senior year is ridiculous. </p>

<p>How the heck do people come out alive from it?
Share!!</p>

<p>For heavens sake, I don't even have time to go on CC...which is weird. </p>

<p><em>continues ranting</em></p>

<p>Lol, this is beyond exaggerating. How can you be so stressed out? Getting stressed out is not going to solve your problems, so you're wasting your time and effort.</p>

<p>Yes, we all have to miss classes for college visits. Yes, we all have 6+ AP/IB classes. Yes, we have SAT II's. Yes, there isn't time to be on CC. And yet we all find the time to do each of these things, and for the most part, it shouldn't be that difficult. Yeah, it requires a bit more time management than in years past, but seriously?</p>

<p>At least this has a question to, um, count it as a thread...</p>

<p>I agree, this is exaggerating (the only words I read).</p>

<p>By not stressing... if you stress about it, it will seem more overwhelming. If you relax, prioritize, get things done, it'll go by in a flash.</p>

<p>Senior here, too...</p>

<p>focus on when it will be over...for me, my early apps & sats were this week, so I'm basically done with the big stuff now. Was it stressful as anything getting to this point? You bet. Just get through it.</p>

<p>^ I dunno. Focusing on "when it will be over" isn't a good idea if you don't want your work to suffer.</p>

<p>Here's some words of advice from my previous rock-climbing instructor: "focus on the task at hand, not on the summit. If you're not concentrating on your holds, you're going to slip and slam into the cliffside. And that, if you don't know, hurts like hell." </p>

<p>I'd also tell you that everyone has to go through senior year, but that wouldn't help you at all. The fact is, we overachievers are doomed to forever work our ***es off until we learn to stop biting off more than we can chew.</p>

<p>Not entirely applicable to your current situation, but the gallows humor can still be used to lighten your mood. :D</p>

<p>Lol, doomster, is that the link you keep sending me? Or not, cus I haven't looked at it... <em>_</em> lol.</p>

<p>Why yes, yes it is (although I've only sent it twice really, and the second time was for when you said you hadn't watched it and told me to send it to you while you made food.</p>

<p>I don't recall telling you to send it to me again... I said send me an email in which you profess your profound loneliness while I was away :]</p>

<p>Lol, you actually didn't specify anything in particular, you just told me to send you an email, after I told you that I would tell you my story and make you watch the vids when you returned.</p>

<p>But, but, but... let me check the logs :]</p>

<p>me (5:40:56 PM): k really
you (5:40:57 PM): ok
me (5:40:58 PM): byee :]
you (5:40:58 PM): well
you (5:40:59 PM): ttyl
me (5:41:02 PM): oh yeah
me (5:41:02 PM): and you<br>
you (5:41:03 PM): be back soon!
me (5:41:04 PM): can send me<br>
you (5:41:04 PM): I'll miss you!
you (5:41:06 PM): ;p
me (5:41:08 PM): an email!
me (5:41:09 PM): if you
me (5:41:11 PM): miss me so much
me (5:41:11 PM): lol
me (5:41:13 PM): it'll<br>
me (5:41:15 PM): pass the time :] </p>

<p>bahahahhaha
PROOF!
it's undeniable. nothing about the vids. perhaps that was taken out of context.. lol... I would make a terrible lawyer.</p>

<p>Lol, yes, it was (the part about the vids come right before it), and the I'll miss you bit was done half in jest... plus, you began typing the
me (5:41:02 PM): and you
me (5:41:04 PM): can send me
part before I proclaimed my, erm, "profound loneliness" (profound? Really?), so it could only have been in response to the previous statements, which read:</p>

<p>[14:40] Silly Wench: oh
[14:40] moodrets1: bye!
[14:40] Silly Wench: i definitely
[14:40] Silly Wench: will
[14:40] Silly Wench: lol
[14:40] moodrets1: and then
[14:40] Silly Wench: bye :]
[14:40] Silly Wench: watch vides
[14:40] moodrets1: you can listen to my funny story
[14:40] Silly Wench: eos
[14:40] Silly Wench: yeah i know
[14:40] Silly Wench: lol
[14:40] Silly Wench: okay
[14:40] moodrets1: and watch the vids</p>

<p>[lol, I don't care about my AIM, just don't spam it on /b/, k everybody? it's ubereasy to access anyway]</p>

<p>Lol well now everyone thinks my IM is Silly Wench, which it's.. um... not...
lololol
And my description of your "profound" loneliness was done more than half in jest, and I changed the end of the sentence I was already typing because you said "i'll miss you!" lol.
Although the overall point of me telling you to send an email was:
me (5:41:13 PM): it'll
me (5:41:15 PM): pass the time </p>

<p>:]
We are compulsive arguers.</p>

<p>lol, and nice job hijacking the thread btw</p>

<p>...Nice to know your AIM chatlogs. (And I'm I uber-skimming correctly, or is Viagra's sn Silly Wench? I just had a good 15 seconds of epic lulz.)</p>

<p>Bahahaha Imavoyeurable, nah, my sn isn't Silly Wench, that's just what he has in there as a nickname, so that's what it comes up as. BUT I've been very seriously considering making a new sn as that :] It would be so rad! Lol.</p>

<p>Ah man, somebody already has the sn Silly Wench :[</p>

<p>/b/ wouldn't do anything with your SN...it's those jerks from Ebaum's World who'd mess you up.</p>
