RD 2013 Anxiety Thread

<p>I know, hate what schools are doing to us! But I guess i feel bad for them too..all those applications they have to read! Ugh, its mind boggling!</p>

<p>the wait is really weighing on me tooo. it seems like everyone in my class already knows where they're going because they applied to rolling admissions schools. so everytime someone asks me where i'm going, i say that i'm still waiting to here and i feel dumb. hahaha</p>

<p>omg, I totally feel the same way. The only school I've heard from out of the 12 I applied to was a state school, and I swear everyone already knows where there going! I hate when they ask me "why didn't you apply earlier?" Well I didn't want to strap myself to one school, ugh! It's so annoying everytime my parents ask me, I tell them April 1st, but they don't understand lol.</p>

<p>@superwoman - OMG, I know. Everyone always asks me and I don't know what to say. ALL of my schools are letting me know March 31st/April 1st.</p>

<p>yea..me too, its pretty annoying! but, 38 days left! (until March 31st of course)
Im on vacation and i havent been doing nothing! lmao..</p>

<p>I'm in yearbook right now and decided to check and needed to contribute.</p>

<p>I've heard from four schools and have been accepted to all of them. I got in to one that I really like the other day and now everyone is asking if I'm going there. And I'm just kind of like "...maybe? It depends on if I get in to Barnard." Ugh, so stressful. I'm trying to pack my weekends though. Last night, I went with my friends to a free advance screening of Fired Up. Tonight, I'm going to the theatre to see A Chorus Line (for the fourth time... don't judge) and a friend is coming with. And tomorrow I'm going out. But still it's just...so close...but so far away.</p>

<p>Don't take my word on it, but you probably one month or less left to wait. On March 31, I guess I can log in with my id thing and make my email address, so I think the RDers will know by then. I think people will start getting letters starting on the 20th of March, but again, I can't be sure.</p>

<p>For me, the waiting is a two-edged sword. I really want it to end so I know all my decisions (I only applied to one rolling school that I've been accepted to) and where I'm going to be next year but, at the same time, I realize that once I know, the majority of my senior year will be finished. Wow, what a run-on! Haha.</p>

<p>So yeah, this waiting is really bittersweet. I want the wait to go by fast, but not too fast so I don't enjoy my last moments of high school (I know I'll regret rushing to leave and not taking it all in -- high school is definitely one unique experience).</p>

<p>But I still really want my letter right now :p</p>

<p>me too! That would be so cool if decisions began being mailed quickly! ugh, it's just the wait that stinks :(</p>

<p>O, and I forgot to mention, I totally went to see Madea Goes to Jail today! It was sooo good! If you need to laugh until you cry, that movie' definetly what your looking for. lmao. It definetly kept my mind off of the anxiety, movies seem to do that..:)</p>

<p>Whereas I have been watching Life Is Beautiful, which, while amazing, is not quite helping my mood. :&lt;/p>

<p>Life is Beautiful is probably NOT the best choice for a cheerful film.</p>

<p>I got home from the theatre and now I'm trying to decide what to watch. Hmmm...maybe The Wizard of Oz?</p>

<p>AND I HOPE THEY MAIL BY MARCH 20 IT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE SO MUCH BETTER I'M FREAKING OUT.</p>

<p>I think I'm going weekend after next to Universal with my friend, though, YAY.</p>

<p>I just got Trainspotting in the mail today :)
What better way to take my mind off the decision day than to watch a movie about heroin addicts - Danny Boyle at his finest.</p>

<p>Go Slumdog Go! :D</p>

<p>Omg! Omg! I had a dream last night that I got this huge Express BOX (a box…not envelope!) from Barnard and I was like “this has to be it!” even though I thought it was weird that it came in February. Well. I opened the box and there was all this red tissue paper inside. I took the tissue paper out and underneath it….</p>

<p>…were about 10 huge red/pink/white construction paper cutout hearts that said “Happy Valentine’s Day from Barnard!”</p>

<p>And then I made a disappointed sound and my mom said casually, “Oh, so you didn’t get in.” </p>

<p>What? What? What is that even supposed to mean?</p>

<p>Second on the Slumdog love - after reading about the cute kids getting flown from a Mumbai slum to LA, I'm really rooting for it.</p>

<p>Slumdog was incredible. I'm definitely rooting for it! It's such an inspiring story. A friend of my sister's got to interview some of the cast members and said they were SO NICE which makes me love it even more.</p>

<p>I'm seeing Coraline tonight...I don't even care that it's not one of the Oscar movies, I'm so pumped.</p>

<p>I got another acceptance letter today from like...my absolute last resort school and it was really anticlimactic. I NEED TO HEAR FROM BARNARD. NOW.</p>

<p>^ make sure you watch it in 3D - I hear it's fantasmic! :)</p>

<p>I know this is kind of a random question, considering that this is a Barnard thread, but I figure that at least one of you might have applied to NYU also. Did anyone else by any chance get into the liberal studies program? I just heard unexpectedly and need solidarity...</p>

<p>I got LSP at NYU! Hahah. One of my friends is in it now, so that's comforting to me. If Barnard doesn't take me, I guess it's nice to know that NYU will :) I'm glad I'm not the only one on here. Add me on facebook!</p>

<p>Oh, that's so funny!</p>
