<p>Songbird, add NintendoFan2298 as my Skype ID. I had mentioned it earlier.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any tips on not getting obsessive and staying calm? Because I’m starting to go into full on stalk mode towards NCSSM…</p>
<p>Also, Hi 
This thread seems like a really good way to meet potential Smathers, and it’d be nice to make some friends (if I get in :P)</p>
<p>@Chyang lol i went on full stalk mode like during December/January and I would literally be up at 4 am reading NCSSM blogs and NCSSM tumblrs and stalking NCSSM tags on instagram
I think I tired out my resources though hm</p>
<p>@loltired ikr I can’t find anymore NCSSM blogs to read…I even read literally all of a hall blog. I’m not proud of myself. </p>
<p>@chyang which one 
I think i read one of the Beall ones…</p>
<p>@supremenoodle Wait, you have one of the Beall ones? LINK ME PLEASE And I read the first Royall one </p>
<p>@Prendwick @Chyang Hi, guys! Suddenly this little online community has been growing like crazy! It’s so cool how we’re all scattered across the state of North Carolina and we’re all different, intelligent and ambitious students, yet we’re all united under the one aspiration to get into NCSSM. (Not trying to be dramatic, just sayin’)</p>
<p>I’ve finally somewhat gotten over my NCSSM obsession phase (mostly because I’ve wrung out every tidbit I could find). I’m just trying to focus on school stuff, but that doesn’t stop me from coming back here. Gosh dang, when I got back just now I had FIFTEEN NOTIFICATIONS!! </p>
<p>I’m eating a bagel. I used to have a Skype, but then I forgot my username. And my password. ._. Plus I’m scared to reveal my identity. The police might catch up. O.o</p>
<p>@chyang I think the only way to stop being obsessive is that there isn’t a way. I started reading everything in like September/ October. My mom is legit freaked out that if I don’t get in, I’ll go crazy. When I turn on my laptop, I check uniapp (which now that all of my parts are showing up, I will be doing less of), check NCSSM.edu, and come here. Then, I proceed to find any little detail about NCSSM that I do not already know. I’m trying to focus on my family, my friends, and schoolwork, but its always lingering in the back of my mind.</p>
<p>15 days. 19 hours. 34 minutes.</p>
<p>@Chyang lol nevermind it was 2nd Bryan <a href=“http://2ndbryangirls.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/”>http://2ndbryangirls.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/</a>
BTW has our counselor mailed the stuff yet, do you know? Those blank boxes are scaring me…</p>
<p>@WhiteRabbit98 what kind of bagel :P</p>
<p>1,365,570 seconds left…</p>
<p>@supremenoodle Warm-toasted-blueberry-Panera-awesomeness bagel with cream cheese! CHEERS. That seconds thing you do is so freaky! In the best way possible. Okay, I sound like a noob.</p>
<p>@willsister1 It seems like no matter what I do, April 3rd at 5:00 pm is always hovering around at the back of my head. I’m so glad I’m not the only one. T_T I kind of felt like a weirdo when I used to Google NCSSM and furiously peruse every result that popped up. Yay, Unicornism!</p>
<p>@WhiteRabbit28 Hi! It’s really cool to talk with all these people who are applying to NCSSM. Plus, it’s updated often, so I don’t have to wait(I hate waiting…especially for the NCSSM notification). And ooooh, a bagel. Any toppings? And what if … I AM THE POLICE <em>plot twist</em>. </p>
<p>@willsister1 It’s nice to know that other people are ultra-obsessed as well 
And I found new material to read, so I think my obsession won’t be ending any time soon :P</p>
<p>@supremenoodle Yup, Ms. Ray sent out all the stuff; yours probably just isn’t processed yet (mine are all checked :D) And oooh, not enough posts though :(</p>
<p>@Chyang NOOO, YOU’LL NEVER GET ME ALIVE!
Plot twist: I’m actually a guinea pig. Jk, I’m not. OR AM I? </p>
<p>See above post for bagel details! </p>
<p>Update: Just realized that this is the first post on page 31 of the forum. Crawling into hole in three, two, one…</p>
<p>@WhiteRabbit98 PANERA? I’m SO jealous right now…And I’ll get you DEAD OR ALIVE, GUINEA PIG OR WHATEVER ELSE </p>
<p>@Chyang Yes! Panera-nera-nera~
ACK! NO! (Covers eyes with paws - I mean hands! Hands!)</p>
<p>@WhiteRabbit98 PANERA JEALOUSY= MORE CAUSE FOR ARREST
Guinea pigs belong in cages…or JAIL CELLS
I WILL FIND YOU </p>
<p>@nintendofan2298 added you!</p>
<p>@chyang welcome! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s read way too much about ncssm, i just can’t seem to stop!
@WhiteRabbit98 are we talking about panera bread because there’s like one 30 min away but i’ve never actually been OOPS</p>
<p>15 DAYS 18 HOURS 48 MINUTES
WE’RE ALMOST AT THE 2 WEEK MARK AHHHH</p>
<p>@WhiteRabbit98 TODAY IS LIKE
PANERA’S BAGEL DAY
AND I FORGOT TO GO GET BAGELS
so upset right now</p>
<p>@Chyang (Looks around for passport)
@songbird13 Yes, Panera Bread! I used to never really like it, but my devoted Panera-fan friends eventually coaxed me into it and now I HAVE NO REGRETS.
@loltired Such bagel very Panera… wow. I would give you a bite of my bagel, but… (Tries to put it through computer screen)</p>
<p>@WhiteRabbit98 I’ve never had it before! My mom’s allergic to gluten, which includes wheat, so we typically avoid sandwich shops! It seems like it’d be good though, if I went. Bagels are amazing in general though</p>
<p>@songbird13 Oh, that’s too bad! I don’t think I could handle having a gluten allergy, so power to your mom! (That sounded a bit weird) </p>
<p>However, I see that we are on the same page about bagels. :)</p>
