<p>Go for a run.
Think about all of the great things that you have at home, like friends, family, and activities that you wouldn't have at boarding school.</p>
<p>What else?</p>
<p>Start looking at colleges… after all, it’s not too far away!</p>
<p>bump… with march 10th coming up we need some advice!
eating junk food
…</p>
<p>oh god. I think I would die if I don’t get accepted into deerfield.
ummm, have a big long cry and then eat a block of chocolate! ahaha</p>
<p>just try not to thin about it. whenever i do i play video games or go for a swim or lift. it kinda sucks b.c this kid in 4 of my classes is also applying and all he talks about is WHAT IF I GET REJECTEDDDDDD. hes getting onmy nerves</p>
<p>Write in your journal (if you have one).
“Remember that rejection doesn’t mean you’re not good enough, it just means that it’s not the best option for you as an individual.” -words from my dad.
If I don’t get in to Exeter, I’ll be REALLY bummed. I’ve been looking forward to it since sixth grade. And my dad said he refuses to let me attend the local high school, so he’ll convince my grandparents (that I live with) to let me move in with him to either Washington or South America (where he spends half the year) for school. Which would be kind of cool, but I don’t want to live with my dad. Whenever I’m around him I don’t like myself. It sounds stupid, but it’s difficult enough spending the summers with him - I absolutely can’t handle four years. Exeter is like this one last option I’ll be genuinely, completely happy with - which I think is funny, considering that my dad went to Exeter for similar reasons. If I don’t get in, I’ll be terrified to see what my life will be like until college.
I poured out more of my heart than I meant to in that. O_O And now you probably think I’m doing this for all the wrong reasons… I’m really not! It’s just that it’s the only option I think I’ll absolutely love - it’s the option I’m choosing for myself, it’s the option I’ve worked three years for, all I need now is for them to choose me.</p>
<p>Choose washington! I really hope you get in though.</p>
<p>Since I’m a junior in high school, I will plan out which dual credit college classes to take next year. Not ideal, but still a good option.</p>
<p>im with “gaijinsam” :)</p>
<p>apply next year hehe. jk.</p>
<p>gaijinsam? Lol preppy!!!</p>
<p>If i don’t get into chatham i am going to first be upset then i am going to look at other things i can go for like, publishing another book.</p>
<p>Make up homework, cry, look for schools that offer rolling admission, apply next year, take part in more extracurriculars and contests, start writing essays IN THE SUMMER.
EDIT: Learn how to love our current schools.</p>
<p>moodswings assign…jk, i dont know whether to apply next year, on the one hand, my friends are already ****ed about this year, and my high school is actually really really good, but on the other, this has been my dream since 3rd grade…i probly wont apply again</p>
<p>^^^wow it automatically blocks the word ****ed</p>
<p>that’s great for you, bookworm240mc. My school is in a small country and it’s nowhere nearly as good as other CCers’ current schools. Good luck to you bookworm240mc!</p>
<p>good luck to you too!!! omg its so close…</p>
<p>it’s like 2 days. I’m seriously slacking off homework because M10 is all I think about.</p>
<p>ditto…</p>
<p>Spelling it as M10 makes me think it’s some amazing top secret spy organization, like M15 or M16. O:</p>
<p>Ultimate rejection survival tactic thing:
save your rejection and keep it in good shape. become mind-blowingly rich and famous, whip out the rejection letter, and fax it to the school that rejected you. BWUAHAHAHA! i feel so evil xD</p>
<p>I had a dream about that :D</p>
<p>Totally my plan.</p>
<p>Vindictive? me?</p>
<p>ill send it to them right after i make my first billion…and i wont give them any <em>evil laugh</em></p>
