<p>Okay, so I'm going insane. This application stuff has gotten me so lost. I constantly feel like I'm locked in a cage. I've got 40 million things going on besides this stupid application stuff. I think it's funny how colleges want to see that you have a life outside of academics, but then application season takes that away from you. I think I just need to slow down, some of my stuff isn't due until January, but I fear procrastination. It certainly doesn't help that I'm not getting any help at all from ANYONE (GC included), except of course CC. I see all these parents here, and I think it's so weird, and how much easier my life would be if my mom took an interest (Just yesterday she asked why I hadn't sent in all of my applications yet). So I guess my question is: Does anyone else feel like bashing their heads into the wall?</p>
<p>I am in the same situation as you are. I am applying early (to Yale), so I am trying to finish everything as soon as possible, but there are so many things to do with so little time. Don't worry, it is normal to feel this way when you start application process. When you are the end of the process, you will feel better.</p>
<p>Yeah, try 3 EA schools + 2 rolling schools= major stress. My mom doesn't even know where I'm applying and my dad doesn't know I've already decided on a final list (they're divorced). I wouldn't be surprised to see myself succumb to mental insanity.</p>
<p>Yeah I'm only doing two EA and 1 rolling (another maybe). Our moms are alike, but I doubt my father even knows I'm graduating this coming May. But it looks like we can all go crazy together.</p>
<p>i'm doing 1 EA and 2 rolling. and my all my mom ask is, "have you finish?" "why is it taking so long?" "the longer you wait, the more unlikely they'll be pleased with you!"</p>
<p>Haha, Jusgimmethegun! My parents think I'm gaining weight from sitting around and working on college apps (they are health freaks). So my dad got a free 2-weeks pass to a gym, and I was like, "I can't use that because I'm not 18." And he replies, "what? you're not??" And my mom adds, "she'll turn 17 in a month." It's really sad that my parents don't even know I'm turning 18 in a month.</p>
<p>Then my mom had a dream last night that I turned in my applications too late for them to be considered. Now she's urging me to turn my ED/EA applications NOW. </p>
<p>Gah!</p>
<p>I AM GOING ABSOLUTLEY CRAZY! and my parents are driving me crazy becuase they put so much pressure on me. my mom is hyperventilating becuase my essays arent done and im applying ED.</p>
<p>FALL OF SENIOR YEAR = DEATH</p>
<p>I do not feel like a senior at all! There is no fun now for me!</p>
<p>I am applying to West Point so add all that mental insanity plus i actually DO have to work out for the cfa! adjifehrwjglksfvcgl;rf insane!!!!!</p>
<p>To quote Grey's Anatomy, "Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop."</p>
<p>lol good one taws :F</p>
<p>My social life is shot. My parents won't allow me to do ANYTHING with friends until my college apps are finished...so basically I'm a hermit for the rest of this month. </p>
<p>I am planning a big no-more-college-apps-and-best-of-all-no-more-SATs party when all of this madness is over.</p>
<p>i agree
applications suck
i cant wait till second semester senior year
unless i didnt get into yale
this whole process is craaaaazy.</p>
<p>and that was today's poem.</p>
<p>"My parents won't allow me to do ANYTHING with friends until my college apps are finished..."</p>
<p>So..just apply to like one college :)</p>
<p>I'm only applying to 3 so far. Unfortunately, they all use different applications.</p>
<p>Well I'm slowly checking things off the list, today I gave my GC every school report form I need to be filled out. Now my only worry is that she screws things up... I have a very strong feeling that this will happen.</p>
<p>I am so glad my GC is competent. Otherwise I would be in hell right now. Despite that, I do feel like banging my head against the wall. Though, I did send in 2 applications (1 rolling and 1 ea) yesterday. BIG sigh of relief. At least those are out of my hands.</p>
<p>Yeah it seems that in the past few days everything has come together a little easier than I thought it would. The five million essays I have to write are turning out to be much easier than planned, I'm very close to being able to send out 3 of my apps (2 EA and 1 rolling). Phew..</p>
<p>Ugh. Thank God for this thread. The worst part of all this was that it felt like I was the only one going through this. All my friends have either not started with their applications, sent theirs in already(and gotten replies too...the bastards), or are applying and yet still seem to have a life and some happiness. </p>
<p>After this whole thing's over, I'd be happy to not look at another college for 10 years....oh wait...</p>
<p>Jusgimme, I feel your pain. I don't have a guidance counselor, and my parents don't help and have no idea where I'm applying. I'm applying to ten schools since I have to get a full ride (without financial aid) to go. The thought that I could work so hard and still end up at my local state U freaks and stresses me out beyond all reason.</p>
