<p>@chrohn…ugh, i’ve got 4 tests tomorrow, so i’m having a blast! you?</p>
<p>Im from asia but now i live in gaaaaaaa</p>
<p>No test… but I’m falling behind in calc and my science teacher is a Nazi so… I’m usually quite scared of this day (tmrw) on my block schedule…
But gotta keep them grades up in case we fall through ED. I feel like senior year is the hardest… everyone says junior year counts the most and is (or should be) the most rigorous… but each year just gets harder and harder…</p>
<p>Senior year is definitely the hardest, at least for me! Not to mention the stress of college apps/decisions…</p>
<p>Senior year and junior year both have their stressors but yeah, the added pressure of college does make senior year a lot tougher.
Have a calculus test tomorrow, that is probably not going to go well. </p>
<p>In terms of movies, embarrassingly enough, the last one I saw was Twlight Breaking Dawn pt2 (which turned out much better than expected!!) I really want to see Rise of the Guardians…and in December Les Miserables and the Hobbit, which looks fricken epic!!</p>

General Comments: I know its quite a stretch but I’m trying to stay optimistic! Good Luck Everyone!!</p>
<p>I’m going to see the midnight premiere of the Hobbit with a friend Thursday night. And then I have a test on Friday. If decisions are released then I’ll probably sleep right through them… haha.</p>
<p>I’m in cali so decisions will be out shortly after school ends… that is… if they follow the Friday at 5pm thing…</p>
<p>its my bday friday so i really hope i get in</p>
<p>@chrohn where in cali?
@ednuftw happy almost birthday! lol</p>
<p>Yeahhhhh I’m in Washington so ill be right out of school when I find out… Yay…</p>
<p>AH I MISS BEING YOU GUYS. 
Good luck! Don’t stress too much since they won’t come out til’ Friday.</p>
<p>Shoveldog, Picklebump’s from India!</p>
<p>Ahh Arsenal vs Bradford should keep me busy tonight :x</p>
<p>Stressing this morning…ahhhhhhh…I don’t know why, since I’ve been pretty calm until now. I guess now that it’s coming closer, I’m starting to freak out.</p>
<p>The hardest part for me is that if decisions come out at 5 pm Friday, I probably won’t be able to see it! I have rehearsal until 6 (I like in kansas so CT) and then I have two Christmas/birthday parties I have to go to that star at 7! and I definitely don’t want to be around people when I find out, you know…in case worse comes to worse.</p>
<p>Yeah its killing me. This week’s been just awful. I hope it comes out today.</p>
<p>Rapfan313, I’m in SoCal.</p>
<p>Dang it’s only Tuesaday. I never really dream, but nowadays I keep dreaming about getting rejected… it’s kinda funny cause they’re the weirdest scenarios…</p>
<p>Why is everybody so convinced they will be on friday? Over the last year they’ve come on mondays, tuesdays and saturdays all within 5 days before the 15th, so i feel like it could be anyday?</p>
<p>^I agree. I think it could be today.</p>
<p>guipcae: Last year it was Friday and I’m pretty sure a year before that it was Friday too and so on. Northwestern closes for break on Friday so it only makes sense that the Admissions office wants to release them right before they leave so they don’t have to deal with all the phone calls of the people who don’t get in… Last year it happened to land on Friday the 9th and this year it is Friday the 14th.</p>
