<p>1) The site goes down for 1 hour, and you are sitting at home, desperately refreshing and despairing...</p>
<p>:]. Any others?</p>
<p>2.) You actually know people's real names on CC, not just the user names, because you tracked them down on facebook. XD</p>
<p>3) The first thing you do when you go on the internet is search for new threads on CC</p>
<p>not really a sign...</p>
<p>but a friend of mine last year lived at my house and applied to andover, exeter, etc. and got accepted to all of em (except for st. pauls I think). I always DID notice him going on this website! xD At the time, I never applied to boarding schools so I was like : what a waste of time. these guys have no life...</p>
<p>but 1 year later, and I've become a hypocrite. boo hoo xD</p>
<p>4) You know where everyones applying, attending, or has a child attending or applying</p>
<p>Lol.. Saer, just as I tracked YOU down on facebook, mua hahaha.</p>
<p>5) You have met somebody on the CC boards, and now consider them a really good friend... even though you've never met.</p>
<ol>
<li>you get really excited when you see red stars next to the yellow dots for recently updated threads.
--> or maybe thats just me :/</li>
</ol>
<p>same here aspirant!</p>
<ol>
<li>You spend more time on CC than you probably will writing your apps</li>
</ol>
<p>and Aspirant94, you too mine!!!</p>
<ol>
<li>using the ^ sign is a daily habit. in fact, you'll probably use it in one of your essay revisions soon, and if it's too short, you'll say "(ten char)"</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li><p>you would probably be able to write your apps twice if you have had spent the amount of time on you were cc</p></li>
<li><p>you find yourself more on cc than your daily internet addictions (fb, msn/aol/etc.)</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>You get up early in the morning just to beat your sister from getting on the computer... (Exaggeration?)</li>
</ol>
<p>12) You know who to ask for practical advice, who to advise, and who you can fret over applications with :D</p>
<p>13) You know you're addicted to CC when :</p>
<p>You keep making excuses on why you need to browse CC longer. (Like, for example I need to browse this website.. to become more well-informed for the interviews! haha) </p>
<p>Whenever you say 'Guess What!' to someone they automatically say 'boarding school?'</p>
<p>Nearly every blog on your blogging sites contains at least one thing about boarding school.</p>
<p>You've written more about boarding schools on Facebook than you have about yourself >_></p>
<p>hahahaha!!! During free period at school, instead of secretly checking your email, you're secretly checking CC and looking for those red stars next to the yellow dots. :P</p>
<p>(I can't find blogs about boarding school! Help?)</p>
<p>no they mean like in your own blog, like livejournal. you talk about boarding school on livejournal or your public blog about your life</p>
<p>right right sorry, haha. i still want blogs about boarding school.. it'd be fun to read. haha but yeah mine is all boarding school.</p>
<p>you should go to facebook and type in you know youve attended boarding school too long when.......</p>
<p>it's hella funny x)</p>
<p>haha yeah i've read that, its great!</p>
