<p>:) You’re welcome!</p>
<p>I am applying to Andover. I can’t say what choice it is because really, I kind of just want to get into any one of them. No complaints.</p>
<p>@creamcheesecake me too. I literally just signed up 4 days ago. Welcome! btw your username makes me rly hungry.</p>
<p>I have to admit that I did the lurking thing all summer and fall until finally deciding to join in December. </p>
<p>phew for minute i thought i was the only one who did the whole nsa-style lurking thing prior to actually joining. </p>
<p>@waiting4march10 we all did</p>
<p>I started an account last year when I began looking at schools but I never really did anything on it until like last week. :p</p>
<p>yea, is it bad that i have read all of the posts from last year’s admissions cycle, and, i don’t know, maybe like stalked all of the applicants on their accounts? i seriously feel like a viable candidate for the creeper-of-the-year award. </p>
<p>LMAO Trust me I’m with you my most visited were my top three schools cuz I was stalking their school website And I googled the school apparel/alums/events/… <em>laughs creepily</em> <em>chokes on Doritos</em> <em>starts coughing</em> <em>posts comment while choking</em> @waiting4march10</p>
<p>I haven’t been able to focus in class, all I’m thinking about is M10. I’ve never been this stressed before. Literally cannot think of anything else </p>
<p>@teenwithadream I was daydreaming in Science, when I looked back to my paper, “MX” was drawn all over it. Whenever I turn homework in, I guarantee that there is some sort of boarding school relevant marking on it. </p>
<p>@teen @ccnaf … I wish the older among us could somehow reach into your soul and make you feel the relative unimportance of this admission event. You may not know this yet, but being blessed with the necessary levels of enthusiasm, smarts and thick skin even to go through this process should tell YOU that you’re going to be successful whether you get good or bad news. </p>
<p>@ccnaf14 Haha I’ve done that too!! I think my friends are getting sick of me because all I mention is boarding school and how anxious I am. Even my parents are getting annoyed with me! </p>
<p>@Parlabane Thank you. I’ve realized that it doesn’t kill me if I don’t get in, but I just don’t know how to make the constant anxieties go away. I can’t sleep at night because all I think about is March 10. I guess it isn’t just about getting rejected, I just want to find out already so my mind can be put to rest. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep myself calm and not stress about it?</p>
<p>@teenwithadream i am probably not in a position to calm anyone else - i am equally nervous and excited and whenever i think about m10 my brain goes asddfadfhwefqwefv. but remember that, this may seem cliche, life goes on. life may not go the way you want it to, but hey, that’s what makes it so interesting. good luck!</p>
<p>@waiting4march10 Thanks that was really helpful, I seem to keep forgetting that it won’t be the end of the world if I don’t get in. </p>
<p>I remember the first time I came into contact with the CC community was on 3/9/13 and it was surely crazy. When I woke up, I literally came straight here because I wanted to see where everyone got in. I have spent 361 days waiting for M10 and it doesn’t get easier as time goes on. </p>
<p>@teenwithadream and everybody else… You’re all obviously GREAT kids and you will go far in life, no matter what. I think that the not knowing is the worst part. Once the decisions come, even if they’re not what you wanted, at least you’ll have some closure & be able to move forward. Until then, just try to stay busy and positive. Plan activities with friends who aren’t applying so you’re not tempted to talk about it. Just live your life right now and be thankful for this moment. I know that it’s easer said than done, but it doesn’t hurt to try. You’ll see - M10 will come soon enough! I’m really rooting for all of you!!!</p>
<p>I’ve done this for two years. It’s like a roller coaster of “yes I’m going to get in I’m so good” and "how the heck will I ever get in?"s. Truth is it’s probably somewhere in between. </p>
<p>Five days people!!!</p>
<p>If you’re feeling anxiety get obsessed with a TV show or get a tumblr! Those take over your life. Because of them the entire February I didn’t think of results but now that the date it getting closer it doesn’t seem to be helping as much.</p>
<p>@rareparadox I recently became obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy. It has 10 seasons… It might become a problem after M10 though! </p>
<p>Oh yeah, I’ve already caught up on Sherlock, Elementary, HIMYM, Arrow, Person of Interest, Suits, White Collar, Agents of SHIELD (It’s not that bad), Walking Dead, and the Tomorrow People. </p>
<p>Obsessing is my talent.</p>
