<p>When I was waiting for my ED, I laid in my room alone in darkness silently pressing refresh as I saw everyone was getting theirs.
And when I finally got it (deferred), I was like “whAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN” and I ran down stairs to my mom after finding out what it was and I ate a full pot of lasagna while talking to her about whether I should EDII to my second choice. Then I realized I really did just eat about six to eight servings of lasagna after calming down.
The same thing will probably happen again this time around. At least for my first choice; the rest will probably be a little less dramatic.</p>
<p>I’ll open them alone (mail comes when I’m home alone anyways) - if its good news, I’ll tell my family and be happy for a few hours – if its bad news, that usually spurs some sort of 1-3 day long depression, crying, etc. That’s what happened with my EA schools. </p>
<p>I’d prefer them in email, and I would have someone else open up the webpage so I don’t know when to expect it to load. Once it’s loaded, I’ll look. If by snail mail, the envelope is going to give it away probably. </p>
<p>I’m going to check them online. My parents might ruin it for me, if they check before I can. I don’t really react much though. When I got rejected from my first school, I was like “Oh well, whatever. The school was too expensive anyways” and the acceptances I got were like “Okay, I got in. College. Woohoo.” in a monotone. Yup. </p>
<p>I will most likely open my college results when I get them with a borrowed swanky letter opener. Of course, this is still a few years away, so hopefully more won’t switch to email, in which case I will not be able to use the borrowed letter opener effectively.</p>
<p>I’ve opened all the ones I’ve gotten so far (and plan on opening my future ones) by myself on the Internet.</p>
<p>I don’t have to worry about this till a couple years, but I’ll open it as soon as possible(My parents are never here anyways so they probably won’t be with me when I open it) and then I’ll tell my parents if I get into a school I REALLY want to go to. If I get into a school that I only applied to because my parents wanted me to, I probably won’t tell them. I’ll keep all my acceptance letters in my secret drawer.
My sister went to San Francisco State University, she’s not there anymore because I guess she couldn’t handle it. She’s at community college now. Anyways, she didn’t tell anyone about her grades, SAT scores, or college admissions. She just told my parents one day that she’s going to go to San Francisco Sate University. I’m not gonna do that.</p>
<p>I’ll have to worry about this in one year or so. When I get the acceptances, I plan to read them alone. There will be no dramatics, just a fist pump.</p>
<p>The type of fist pump will be dependent on my intention to attend, though.</p>
