<p>"thank the dear, sweet spirit thing that we'll be at NYU next year, with ample friend selection. or at least an entire city to get lost in :) "</p>
<p>Amen to that! I only have a few friends that I will really miss. Luckily, the ones I will miss all have parents that work for airlines and will be able to come and visit! </p>
<p>I too live in a suburb. And I hate it. I think that this definitely contributes to the depressed feelings. </p>
<p>I'll give you some of my senioritis, if you want it ;)</p>
<p>I want to go to NYU so badly that every time I think about April 1st I get nauseated/butterflies in my stomach.</p>
<p>:) gimmegimmegimmegimmegimme pleasssssssse :)</p>
<p>you'll get it baby, I'm sure.</p>
<p>there's definitely a correlation between depressed feelings and suburbia..... from what i can tell, those who live there don't seem to fit in either. :) .....we are SO going to come alive next year.</p>
<p>i live in a suburb and i really love most of my friends and I will be sad to leave them, but I am also excited for NYC because it is such an amazing experience. I don't think it is because I would not have been friends with them if I had other options.</p>
<p>I am with you jaimelajolie.</p>
<p>I'm here drowning in the 'burbs of long island. Someone get me to nyc, STAT! The true cosmopolitan in me is just itching to get out.</p>
<p>Ive been feeling really strange lately. Ive been really apathetic(although that is normal) and am really worried about the decision I am going to make for college. I will be leaving so much behind...</p>
<p>Apathy. I think it might be the worst defense mechanism we have; emotion is what gets things done.
ryan, what are the factors you have to consider? </p>
<p>MusicSaves: :) ONLY A FEW MONTHS LEFT!!!!!!!!!!! and then the sexy HOT lifeguard (NYU!) saves us! :)</p>
<p>i have the opposite vice. its not my heavy courseload that gets me down (im used to it, doesnt bother me frankly) its just the sitting and waiting to actually GO to college that gets me. I feel like, ok im gonna take AP tests, and do fairly well, which means i already understand a good portion of what my freshman year has to offer. So LETS GO ALREADY!</p>
<p>I've got some of that too. I think what bothers me the most is that I seem to be the ONLY person I know who's ready to get the **** out. Around here anyway. No one seems to be as antsy as I am.....</p>
<p>I'm glad this message board exists, or else I'd feel all alone in the world. :) hehe</p>
<p>Last year, I was dying to get out of here. To some extent, the feeling still remains; however, I am going to have a little nostalgia for a few of my friends. Mainly im worried about leaving 3 people that I have formed really deep relationships with. All of the others I couldnt care less for. I have a feeling though, that going out of state for college will be good for me.</p>
<p>I've moved more than a few times in my life, and despite that, I'm still really close to those that meant a lot to me. If you really do want to keep a relationship with your friends, you will--and it won't be hard. Email, IM and phones make it so that you feel like you're in real contact. Plus, there are tons of holidays that you can go visit them on--it's not like you're under mom and dad's rule anymore. :) Just don't let nostalgia keep you away from your future...</p>
<p>^Yes, except if they don't reply to said e-mail....yeah, I don't talk much to my friends from middle school anymore, except for one. She's the one going to NYU next year. My high school friends, however, have already told me that they're going to try to keep in contact with everyone, so I'm going to try to keep in contact with them. They actually respond to their e-mail, though, so it shouldn't be hard.
And, ryan, I'm pretty much in the same situation. There are only two of us in my little group of friends who are dying to get out of here.
If you want to know how sad this place is, well, let me tell you a brief story...
My family was in NYC and we were waiting to be seated at a restaurant in Times Square. So we're looking around the gift shop, and a guy who works there asks us where we're from. We tell him, and we get into a little conversation. In this conversation my sister mentioned how everyone here talks about "cow tipping". He had never heard of this before, and when we explained the concept to him, his eyes got wide and he kept asking us why anyone would want to do that.
"cow tipping"....Yeah, I definitely can't wait to move to NYC.... :)</p>
<p>I sort of have this rebellious attitude now. I mean I have like maybe two or three good friends, but I wouldn't say it was a "deep" friendship. Everyone else annoys me and I really hate my school (always have). I actually live in a very rural area...it's so small and BORING! The courseload is tolerable, but it doesn't help any at the same time. Thank God for the diversity at NYU, I'm so tired of being the only Black person in all my classes and feeling isolated. It's like I won't miss any part of this school. As soon as graduation ceremony is over, I'm leaving, no time for that good luck in life inspirational stuff lol...I'll only miss family, but it won't be too bad.</p>
<p>jolie, im going for uhall, brittany, hayden</p>
<p>you?</p>
<p>I want to leave HS so badly...but I haven't been accepted anywhere yet :p I would love to go to NYU. Hopefully my dream will be fulfilled...</p>
<p>Shaddix: I hope you get NYU too! </p>
<p>firewalker: low cost triple in hayden (anyone interested?), rubin, then brittany. i don't want Uhall because I'm thinking I'll move out of the dorms in sophomor or junior year (if you get a couple roomies, it'd be cheaper to rent a place on your own) so I want the traditional style while i can get it.</p>
<p>ELEVEN DAYS LEFT UNTIL EVERYTHING IS OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Whoo! Only 11 days! Of course, I'm not going to be home. I've leaving on a band trip in nine days... so my parents can call me when it comes...</p>
<p>:) hahaha well, good thing you already know :)</p>
<p>Yeah... I'll be hanging out with a friend who's hoping to get into Princeton. She got defered ED so she's nervous.</p>
<p>:( poor girl. i think that they might be the ones suffering the most....poor deferred kids have to go through the agony TWICE.</p>
