<p>Congrats! 10char</p>
<p>ok so is anyone else starting to feel burnt out at the moment? we’re coming towards the end of the third quarter in my school now and i’m not sure if i even have the capacity to keep learning lol i can’t take it. for some reason my teachers have been giving ridiculous amounts of hw lately and i’m losing the motivation to even do it anymore lol. i really don’t wanna let my grades slip but im sooo tired lately, what to do?</p>
<p>I know what you mean. I have been feeling a bit of fatigue as well. The best advice I can give is to just push through it.</p>
<p>Congratulations Forskaken! I see you’re from MN and applied to many MN schools. Did you apply to Macalester? Any thoughts about Macalester?</p>
<p>I did not apply to Macalester, although I have to praise the level of academia that Macalester offers, it was a bit TOO liberal for me, and I lean left politically. I found that Carleton offered a healthier balance of personalities and was stronger in the biological sciences, whereas Macalester is like a political prep school. 
The campus is rather nice at Macalester, and it was the next one out on my list, but I decided against it, as I wanted Carleton to be my reach/ dream school.</p>
<p>Do you guys think that after, say, April 1 when pretty much everyone has their decisions, we should start a thread that’s just straight decisions posted with stats? All of the conversation in here will make it pretty frustrating to use for future applicants.</p>
<p>^I’m in complete agreement with Millincad. But then again, perhaps the conversation will provide next year’s stressed seniors with some well-needed amusement.</p>
<p>Yes we can Millancad. I agree. I sort of wasn’t helping with making this thread strictly decision based. sorry.</p>
<p>Oh wow I’m sorry, I didn’t realize i posted about my fatigue in this thread, I actually meant to do it in the other thread lol my bad guys…</p>
<p>@Millincad: That sounds like a good idea.</p>
