How to get your mind off things

Hey guys, I’m currently waiting for all of my acceptances/rejections from 10 schools. I’ve been rejected by 8 already. I just want any of you guys who have experience from waiting, or people doing it right now. How do you do it? What do you focus on? What do you do to get your mind off of this?

Exercise always helps with stress. Also anything you love doing for its own sake – singing, painting, walking your dog. There’s nothing you can do at this point, so it’s all about managing nerves and trying to enjoy life as much as possible while you wait.

Thanks! That’s very helpful!

It sounds cliche- but D and I took up crochet during the audition process- takes “just enough” focus
