<p>Still haven’t told my parents I was rejected from UCLA and UCSD. It actually didn’t even bother me for more than 5 minutes because they were both a reach for me. They wouldn’t even be upset since I got accepted to other good schools but I know that they sort of have these expectations for me. Idk</p>
<p>Mom,
it is HIGHLY unlikely (practically impossible) for me to be accepted to ALL of my schools! so stop telling me it’s going to happen! you’re delusional! you repeat it to me every freaking day and i’m starting to believe it! so thanks for making rejection letters that much harder to receive.</p>
<p>dad,
STOP saying i am going to that freaking college down the street. i want to go to the east coast to get away from YOU!! don’t gt me wrong, i love you guys, but i need space. 3000 miles of it. so no matter what, i’m going. get it through your head. i’m leaving, and i’ll be back for the dog.</p>
<p>colleges,
please realize that my GPA is low because of my stupid school. it’s like the teachers physically can’t give A’s. they make tests so hard, THEY don’t even know the answers, and give so much homework that, with ECs, there’s NO WAY you can finish everything, let alone sleep! yet i must attend, since schools in my area suck beyond your wildest dreams, and if i had gone to one of them, i probably would have gotten shot before i could even APPLY to your frickin’ </p>
<p>Mom,
Now I’m a senior-- can I get some rest?</p>
<p>Dad,
Don’t be surpryzed if your car key is gone. :)</p>
<p>Colleges,
I was surprised with acceptance letters although my SAT scores suck. I love every one of you who sent me the magic letter. Thank you for $20,000 scholarship, thank you for $10,000 scholarship, and thank you for making my day happy.</p>
<p>Those of you who sent me rejection letters–if they were in paper–will be a great replacement for my firewood that can warm my day.</p>
<p>Dear mom,
Our EFC is ~11k. I know you can’t cough up that Much, but don’t say that’s expensive. Some people have to take out +20k. Please don’t tell me I can’t go to college, I’ll take out the loans myself then. </p>
<p>And our IM for private schools is 5k. I’ll try my best, mom.</p>
<p>Dear Seniors,
I can’t even the express the amount of jealousy of feel towards all of you. You guys get to graduate in less than 3 months while I’m stuck in this hell hole for 1 more year. ■■■.</p>

My mom and dad do this too. “I have a good feeling about Harvard. Mother’s intuition.” JUST STOP IT!!!</p>
<p>@nil and thburninggiraffe: definitely feel you on that one! It’s not like I have any less homework–I’m in the same classes! I just have no motivation to do it, have lost the ability to focus, etc. etc. Chill 2nd semester senior year is a LIE.</p>
<p>@kenzie. TOTALLY AGREE. And could you guys grow a pair and actually ask people out on dates once in a while???</p>
<p>@musicallylatin: what happened with cupcakes?</p>
<p>Give me financial aid please. I don’t know if I want to do pre-med or not yet. I would hate to have to stay here and go to community college. I believe I have the potential to do great things. I thought my application reflected that. </p>
<p>I was attempting a fairly complex cupcake recipe for a presentation at school tomorrow. the cupcakes failed. Well a few turned out. I attempted to ice them with a frosting bag and the tip shot out because I forgot I used the bigger of the two bags. I was already cranky and my blood sugar was low so that moved into an 18 year old temper tantrum. It was a long day…</p>
<p>Almost everything that I could say, has been said. I have wasted about 1/2 hour reading through this thread, and there’s only two things I want to say.
First, on top of all the other stress going on, my house is being repaired, and has been for the past year. There was a drainage pipe that was rusted over, a 50 year old sink that leaked right next to my bedroom, causing noise that occasionally kept me up at night, asbestos tiles being replaced, mold growing in strange places, overflowing toilets, and dust everywhere. It doesn’t help that I’m allergic to both dust and mold.
The good news is that the repairs should be done by the end of April.</p>
<p>But yes, I do have the stress of school, ECs, tests, beginning the college search, etc…</p>
<p>The second thing I want to say is that the best post on this thread was this:
And if you missed it the first time, it’s worth reading.</p>
<p>to you,
YOU SUCK. I can’t figure you out. Sometimes I tell myself I don’t really want to, but other days I can’t help but wonder if you’re any different. I guess, I’m tired of being hurt. So there. I’m tired of running to you because I’m scared and I’m lonely. Because I am almost eighteen now, and I know that you can’t fix me. </p>
<p>Why lie or be bitter about college admissions? Or complain about other’s acceptances? It’s not a good time to be dour, when we should be proud and supportive of each other. I want to end this year happily. In three months, we are taking seperate paths, so please stop the drama!</p>
