<p>It's weird how nothing matters anymore. Decisions are made, letters are printed, envelopes are sealed, lives will be forever changed. I find it funny how people still ask others about their chances or whether or not they are strong candidates. The admissions game is a tricky one, a puzzle within a puzzle that only you can solve. But by this stage in the game, the puzzle has been solved, and soon enough its answer will be revealed. I too, am playing this game, plagued by uncertainty and doubt, as it does many others-waiting, hoping. April 1st cannot come soon enough, the nights are long and the days unbearable. We see happy classmates knowing where they will attend college, most of them applied to public universities content with their choice-nevertheless they have the satisfaction of knowing they were accepted-they were chosen. I know whatever answer this game holds for me, I will accept it, because I know in my heart that for the past four years, as have most of us, I've been working my ass off and know full well that there is not one thing in the world I could have done differently. The minutes are ticking for that life changing April morning, but Nothing Matters Anymore.</p>

<p>well stated michael05-- but everything will matter once we all get our fat packets :) :) :)</p>
<p>A poetic post. Interesting point about admissions being "a puzzle within a puzzle that only you can solve"... don't quite understand what you mean by "only you can solve it" since a very significant part of the application process (the part that causes much anxiety, no doubt) is that OTHERS, and not you, decide whether you are accepted or not. This is not something over which we have 100% control. But hey, if you think there's nothing that you could have done differntly, then I think that is ultimate. Power to you, man! That should give you all the comfort you need - knowing that your best is your best and no one can ask you for more. Anyway, April is just around the corner, so hang in there till then! :)</p>
<p>Good post, and so true. I just can't wait until everyone (both my real-time friends and CC ones) stop stressing about college. Then we'll actually be able to enjoy our senior year...what little we have left, anyways :)</p>

<p>hs has never really been that enjoyable...which is why i cannot write this freaking speech!</p>

<p>As a Mom it is so refreshing and wonderful to hear these words out of a teenager. What ever road is open to you, I am sure your journey will be successful.</p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
<p>its like the metallica song
"and nothing else mattersssssss...."
rar</p>
<p>...just don't mess up so they don't take away your acceptance.
That is so sad when that happens..and it happens every year.</p>
