<p>Hey, everyone. Lurkers notwithstanding.</p>

<p>18 and chocs…i loved your posts.</p>

<p>I only discovered this forum about a week ago, and yet I feel as though I am as close to the main posters as they are to each other, though they knew each other for over a month. Some people remarked that these forums were ridiculous; I maintain that it was EXTREMELY helpful to be able to talk to kids who know EXACTLY what I’m going through, because they are going through the same thing.</p>

<p>You are all truly remarkable individuals. Getting to know you in the forums and later on in our kickass chat room made me realize exactly why I had chosen Penn over all others in the first place; being able to stress and laugh my ass off with you gave me such a sense of being with MY kind of people. From giving me Nat-vice to insisting I’m not going to get rejected, it has all helped immeasurably.</p>

<p>The hours are drawing to a close and there seems to be a general consensus that the temporary friendships we forged will shatter with decisions. You know what? For days you’ve been hearing me whine that I don’t care if I’m rejected or accepted, I just want to KNOW and stop WAITING…but last night I couldn’t fall asleep; my stomach hurt every time I thought about decisions coming. I realized that I didn’t want to know. I don’t want to click on the website and see a “The University of Pennsylvania received an overwhelming amount of qualified applicants this year; we regret to inform you that…”.</p>

<p>Regardless, decisions are coming. And if our bonds are broken…I’d like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. From the king and queen, Choco and Catch…to the future roomies, Afa and Anu (aka Kevin Gnapoor, mathlete/badass mc/homecoming prince), to MY future roomie akash/streetlight, to icy and mega, eighteen and NFS the lurker, booboo with his roars and amazing one-liners/puns, Jake the name-stealer, brocky…from agonizing over the wait to bringing up superazn and celeb whenever we ran out of things to talk about (which wasn’t often), we grew to depend on each other for support when our friends didn’t seem to quite understand. and in these conversations I have come to know you all, and have no doubt that you will succeed and be happy no matter where you end up (yes, even you, choco lol) - which will surely be a fantastic school, even if it is not Penn. If you are deferred or rejected, just realize that if they couldn’t recognize your quality, it wasn’t the right place for you anyway, despite what your heart tells you.</p>

<p>You’ve all touched me. Just wanted you to know that.</p>

<p>Love always,
blu</p>

<p>You went from nobody I ever heard of to one of my favorite posters in about 2 hours. If we both get in, I'm defintely gonna stalk you around campus... but in a good way lol.</p>

<p>Best of the best to everyone, even if we end up on different paths, I am sure that someday, when it's all said and done, we will be at the same place with or without Penn. Life does go on, and honestly, this has been a helluva ride. Congrats in advance to the acceptees, I will prolly not be home in time to celebrate it with you guys RIGHT after the decisions' are posted. </p>

<p>Cheers!</p>

<p>OMG ITS SO SADDD!!!! </p>

<p>lol this site has really given us a place to talk while waiting this apst month and a half for decisions...we thought the day would never come and looked forward to it...but now its tomorrow....lets all hope and pray...i maintain that if you're a poster on CC, taking the time to talk about Penn, that you're more dedicated and have a better chance than the average applicant...lets hope we all get in...good luck</p>
