<p>I’m not the only person getting butterflies when I get the mail!!! The funniest things have popped into my head, like “OMG, is this a rejection letter???” (which it wasn’t; nor was it a likely) when the end of March isn’t even here yet.</p>
<p>This is the most agonizing month of my life. Brace yourselves, I’m about to use a very bad analogy:</p>
<p>Waiting for college admissions decisions is like going through psychological childbirth. The pain and tension of both actual and mental/emotional labor is comparable. </p>
<p>Now now, don’t accuse me of “epically failing”. Just be aware that going Ivy for me has seriously impacted my judgment, more effectively than how alcohol impacts a driver. (Haha, I just took my 5-hour pre-licensing.)</p>
<p>All of this nonsense reminds me: After this birth is over, we should make a list entitled, “Ivy League Applicants Say the Darndest Things”. I’ll be your host!</p>
