<p>So, you've been accepted to your number one college choice.
You've paid the enrollment fee, you've received all of the information, the welcome email, the congratulations packet.
You're officially a "future student".
And you still have six and a half months of high school left.
Now what?</p>
<p>Make sure you don’t miss yourself up. I’ve heard a lot of people who just gave up on school when they were assured they were getting full marks / accepted to college. Even though it might not matter much at this point, you’ll be suffering in college. Make sure you finish strong, so that you don’t regret wasting these precious times!</p>
<p>This reminds me; at my school, there were these two people who were accepted to UVa, but were caught drinking and driving. Their acceptance was rescinded.</p>
<p>That’s where the senioritis kicks in? XD</p>
<p>Ack I am in this position now, I’ll probably have straight b’s til graduation.</p>
<p>Enjoy yourself and be responsible. Not much else to do. Haha, forgive my pithy response: I’m not very sympathetic to anyone who has already been accepted to their first choice, as I still have a ways to go before I find out whether I’m accepted or rejected. :p</p>
<p>Ugh, I have this problem now. I have literally done no work at home this year. I only ever have math homework and I do that at school. I just want this year to be over already. The only class I’m having trouble with is Yearbook. Seriously. The teacher hates me and I have no idea what I’m doing. The teacher is also really, really stupid. One of my classmates asked her how to spell ‘colleague’ and she didn’t know so she looked to me for help. I mean, come on! What kind of college graduate doesn’t know how to spell ‘colleague’? I wanted to walk out of that class right then and there.</p>
<p>hey srry guys iono how to post things soo yea aneways im applying to bowdoin and i was wondering if there’s a difference between bowdoin alumni interview and going to bowdoin to interview. i live in cali so its kinda far but if it means giving me a better chance of getting in im willing to so yea can u guys help me out? its greatly appreciated ;]</p>
<p>Baltimoron,
Brains work differently. Some people are smart but can’t spell. Don’t judge your teachers by their spelling abilities. I’ve met some pretty sharp people who can’t spell worth a darn.</p>
<p>No, this woman is an idiot. She’s a guidance counselor and she has no idea *** she’s doing. She is mentally inferior.</p>
<p>Corey91: Trust me. I understand you completely. I’m still trying to keep up, though (personally) knowing that I got in to my number one college choice and am already enrolled has made my slightly apathetic. I’m still going to work hard though, I have three AP tests at the end of the year and it’d be great to see another round of 5s - pretty much the only thing I have to look forward to between now and next September, though…</p>
<p>I can sympathize with becoming apathetic. We’re in a very fortunate position, but it’s also sooo boring until next fall. I want college now!!</p>
<p>at the risk of being a major buzz-kill, this is the perfect time to work on those non-academic skills -
get a job and learn about managing your time with that, perfect doing your own laundry, make a family meal once a week, pick a place you’ve never been to before a drive there using just a map (no gps), many more life skills many kids go off to college without.</p>
<p>^oh yeah, I think I’m getting a job soon. Maybe just seasonal but at least something for experience.</p>
<p>First of all, schedule your time out.
Let some time to studies for the APs (unless you don’t have one)
Takes some courses at a Community College to prepare for your future school
Do a part-time job (save money for books, parties and other necessities)
Volunteer!
Laugh at all the other loosers… (kidding!)</p>
