The turmoil after turning applications in...

Applying to College
1

<p>Well.. now that the applications are in I thought I would feel relaxed, but in reality.. I'm quite anxious. I've also started the bad trend of daydreaming and feeling hopeful that I'll get into my first choice school (American University)... but I should be safeguarding against the extreme pain that will ensue if I do, in fact, get rejected! </p>

<p>Is anyone feeling my conflict? The rollercoaster of.. "will I get in? Yes, I'll get in! Wait.. but what if I don't... No, I definitely won't get in! I don't have a chance... but what if I DO get in..?" </p>

<p>This is miserable :P</p>

<p>Hahaha, most definitely!!</p>

3

<p>that is like everyday for me!!!</p>

4

<p>No, not really stressing over it at all. Mostly just looking forward to the end of hs</p>

5

<p>I'm sure it'll be clear what to do when you get your decisions.</p>

6

<p>I'm not stressing. I'm to busy with band and theatre. I have my band trip in the middle of May and I keep thinking, "Wow. I'll know what college I'm going to by then"</p>

<p>It's kind of surreal.</p>

7

<p>It's kind of like proposing to a woman...</p>

<p>There is obviously that tinge of anxiety! I keep having the same thought time and time again but, I just wanna know the decision. April seems so far away!</p>

<p>well ill admit im stressin a little. but at the end of the day, it is what it is. either i get in or i dont. life will go on no matter what.</p>

<p>even so, any idea/tips/advice on what some of you do to clear your heads?
i like to go run. its really soothing. sleeping is a good one too.</p>

10

<p>i watch movies n play online games....hours pass away n u dont even notice,..until its bedtime n u cant sleep ...;D</p>

11

<p>Im stressing/day dreaming a fair bit too. For me it's the last second "wow, I really don't think I'll be happy unless I get into <em>insert any school I applied to where my chances are less than 60%</em></p>

<p>But like proud, swimming is going to take me all the way though mid march. By feb 20th I'll be so focused on that I'm hoping everything will fly by.</p>

12

<p>ten more days until i found out. it's driving me crazy...every day i speed ten miles over just so i can get to my mailbox...</p>

13

<p>Legit half an hour lying in bed is spend reflecting on this very subject.</p>

<p>That is 30 minutes that could have been used sleeping. But my brain won't allow it.</p>

14

<p>Ever since I turned in 13 appications, my life took a Triple U-turn. I applied to my first ever job; I play an online game(and I don't even play computer games okay?); and I refuse to attend school regularly</p>

15

<p>haha!
Jojomonkey, me too!
I spend way to much time considering possibilities when I should stop and just realize it's out of my hands :P</p>

16

<p>lol, i go through the same thing.</p>

<p>it feels so good to dream about getting in. but i know the more i dream, the more obsessed i become and the harder it will be to accept a rejection if it comes. </p>

<p>so i have to constantly snap out of it and tell myself that "X", "Y", and "Z" are all great schools as well and i will be happy to get into any of them.</p>
