<p>All four years, it's been on my mind, all the time. I've worked hard and gotten into some pretty great places (Middlebury, University of Chicago...). And yet, a couple weeks ago, I just stopped caring. That was even before I got my acceptance letters. When I found out I was accepted, I just sort of went "That's nice." It doesn't even feel like a big deal anymore. </p>
<p>Anyone else experience anything similar?</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s not a big deal any more when you know that you’re wanted by great places, and the worse place you could possibly end up is UChicago. <em>gasp</em></p>
<p>what’s the point of your post, OP?</p>
<p>kwu, I think you misunderstood my post. I’m not sad about getting into great schools. I just find it weird that my outlook changed drastically and suddenly, and I was wondering if it’s just me, or others experienced something similar.</p>
<p>I kind of feel the same way. I still care, but the past two weeks have been somewhat anti-climactic…</p>
<p>I think this is just normal, year-end “wind-down”</p>
<p>You’ll be excited next fall.</p>
<p>Senioritis starts because of college excitement, but it seeps into all your feelings – including college excitement – and brings them all down to the same MEH.</p>
<p>feels surreal, doesn’t it?</p>
<p>yeah, for me i think the reality of college hit me the day before i started classes. don’t worry about it, it doesn’t make you weird or anything.</p>
<p>i stopped caring now that tomorrow is getting closer and i’m realizing painfully that i’m not gonna get in to those schools i’m waiting to hear from tom. kinda sad. i know.</p>
