Official Harvard SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>Someone, please explain how you guys have so much time on your hands.</p>

<p>I go to bed at 2:30-3:00 AM every.single.day because there’s so much to do and so little time :(</p>

<p>lol can we call our decisions, because i’m pretty sure i was rejected.</p>

<p>that’s okay, though. there’s always prostitution.</p>

<p>lol oh my god why</p>

You’re Beautiful (gender blender!), Heartstrings, and Dream High are personal favorites. :))
so stupid, so funny. <3 you can watch them all on dramafever.</p>

mee too. i put everything off though. and then once it piles up, i do it all. I have senioritis soooo bad. but i don’t have any motivation to work anymore.</p>

<p>I never have anything to do after school, I have soo much free time. I guess itll make me feel good if I dontget in because I know how hard everyone else works. Then I wont be guilty lol.</p>

<p>collegeinfo: I have horrible senioritis. I mean. it’s bad. I always come home around 5 and sleep until my mom gets home around 8 to wake me up. at which time I watch tv or do something to waste my life for a couple of hours. and then I get online at like 11 to start my hw…which is usually when I inexplicably find myself on CC or Facebook. And around 12…I finally sigh and start working until I HAVE to go to sleep. Much of my hw gets done in the morning before school, in the class that I have before whenever it is due, or lunch. </p>

<p>And that is the story of my life :)</p>

<p>for example. today my throat hurts…so i skipped a speech meet. even though i am a captain. I know right. but we have one eveeerrryy saturday and I am sooo tired and I told my mom I was going to work on the 8 page paper I have due this tuesday…here’s the fun part. haven’t even started. But I don’t feel too guilty because I have caught up on all the sleep that I have missed in the last 5 days…</p>

<p>@Jaysha</p>

<p>Your story is the story of MY life…minus the sleep :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I finish most of my homework in school or while going to and from it. Doing work as quickly as I can and whenever at all possible (including walking between classes) is a habit I’ve had since freshman year.</p>

<p>Jaysha, it’s amazing how much of that corresponds to my life right now! I’m sooo sick of doing pointless homework…I mean is 7 hours of school a day not enough?! I’m just sick of it all at the moment :frowning:
Next semester should be good, though! No more standardized tests or college apps :D</p>

<p>I personally, have 3/4 of the schedule of most students at my school but I still don’t do any homework until I get to school in the morning. Haha</p>

<p>^same here, haha. It’s like I don’t even go to school anymore. I can never pay attention to what’s happening in my classes because I’m doing something that’s due next block…and then I have to teach myself everything, usually the night before the test.</p>

<p>I think we should have a meeting on Skype or Paltalk on Dec 14. Just talk to each other in the spirit of human community, sharing stories, listening, supporting each other. And then another one at exactly 5pm EST, Dec 15, for the live reactions. I believe it’d be really consoling if we know other people are also rejected, live, at the same time. </p>

<p>What do you think of this idea :D</p>

<p>The first thought is that it’s creepy… the second is that most of us if rejected will.not want others to see us weeping violently </p>

<p>Persman, I think last year’s upcoming freshmen did the same thing! But only after they were accepted I think.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s completely anonymous, you only get to hear other people’s voice. And as I said, it can be very consoling. It’s like the support group for patients of terminal illnesses in Fight Club :D</p>

<p>“you only get to hear other people’s voice”</p>

<p>creepier than your previous post.</p>

<p>All the fun of phone sex with all the disappointment of a college rejection.</p>

<p>I’m actually totally for the second one. We should have a Skype chatroom or something on the 15th for consolation/celebration, whatever. I’m in.</p>

<p>SHOCKSTOT: Thank you for the recs! I’ll be watching them tonight :3</p>

<p>Not exactly keen on the vid/audio chat (I’ve had some unpleasant experiences in the past…), but I think it would be fun to have a “get-to-know-your-classmates” thread for those who are accepted. Heck; a “wallow-in-misery” thread might be cool, too. ^w^ I’m sure we’ll want to keep the conversations going after the 15th, whatever the outcome of our apps.</p>

<p>I am so over doing work,too! Thank goodness my dual enrollment and online classes are over! Now, I have 2 free periods! Next semester will definitely be the easier semester!</p>
