How are you all distracting yourselves from the insanity?

<p>I'm going insane waiting for Wednesday. I have no idea how I'm going to get there with my sanity intact. </p>

<p>How are you guys distracting yourselves?</p>

<p>feel like haven’t done anything for one week</p>

<p>No kidding! I have finals starting Monday and I definitely haven’t studied half as much as I should have… #senioritis</p>

<p>I guess I could (should?) be studying to distract myself from Wednesday…but then again, I should be studying in the first place.</p>

<p>same…feel like I need to work on other college apps but no use.
I just looked at my essays I submitted to Penn and ended up getting really depressed.
Oh well. We’ll just have to wait and see:/</p>

<p>Ive begun smoking again. oh how ive missed Marlboros</p>

<p>Smoking’s bad…mmmmmkay?</p>

<p>@lwq1993: feel the same here</p>

<p>I’m just hoping I won’t have to see commonapp.org again… I can’t seem able to distract myself at all… i need to rest during christmas break</p>

<p>^Likewise. Rejection for me means having to start (and complete) all my other apps over winter break. Acceptance would be a family vacation. </p>

<p>The stakes are high.</p>

<p>I think this is a good video to calm yourself down if you’re ever getting anxious: [Congratulations</a>, We Regret to Inform You: the college admissions secret - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>

<p>I’m trying to get myself accept the fact that I have already been rejected. So it won’t hurt as much then…
@lwq1993: same here… :(</p>

<p>Strangely, I feel calmer than ever.</p>

<p>^Same, almost in a zen-like way.</p>

<p>^ and ^^ Teach me your ways! I can barely fall asleep at night…</p>

<p>^Idk…I was never terribly confident about Penn anyway given my admittedly mediocre stats and I just got a pretty hefty scholarship at a school I really like. Haha not to mention senioritis-induced apathy.</p>

<p>^^Foxtails: I’ve just kinda realized that stressing out about it is pointless. It won’t change the outcome. I’ve worked hard, and if I get accepted great. If not, no big deal. There are plenty of other amazing schools that I had a really hard time passing up the opportunity to apply ED to, so I know I’ve got a lot of other opportunities.</p>

<p>Thanks guys! Unfortunately my senioritis-induced apathy has manifested itself in the form of not studying for finals (beginning tomorrow…) I ought to be more productive channeling that apathy towards ED decisions instead :P</p>

<p>And it’s easy to say oh, it’s not a big deal, I’ll end up at some other great place - but when all is said and done, after all the time you invested into a school, it’ll still hurt to be rejected, no?</p>

<p>Pixels: You have no idea how much better that made me feel. Thanks! and good luck :)</p>

<p>Foxtails: of course it will be disappointing, but I won’t be completely devastated. Sometimes you just have to move on. </p>
