<p>Does anyone else here spend more time looking at how to get into colleges and how to get good SATs rather than actually try to do it themselves. </p>
<p>It seems like I sit down to try and increase my grades or SATs but all I can do is look at stats and such. I can't actually sit down and do practice questions or anything, but instead look at what a school's SAT percentile is. </p>
<p>Am I alone? Am I doomed?</p>
<p>It seems that you are once again, thinking about stats and such, rather than focusing on actually doing it :D</p>
<p>Get to that book right now, sir;)</p>
<p>LOL. you're exactly like me hahaha.</p>
<p>:(( i spend too much time researching / reading stats / talking about college than actually doing what i need to to get there, haha. ugh.</p>
<p>Same here!! </p>
<p>I actually learned how to research well though. I decided to look up schools that I really liked, had great departments, and met the stats I have right now. I know its horrible because now I have no motivation but at least I don't feel the need to sit down at my desk studying all day.</p>
<p>I have done a great job researching schools that fit me, but due to all this researching it is hindering my actual results. What the hell. If I keep this up I'll never get into any of the schools I want to. </p>
<p>I woke up at 10 planning on doing some work today, I have yet to start any hw or practice SATs or APs.</p>
<p>On another note I did throw out all the irrelevant mail from colleges I have been getting. My day is not a complete waste <em>rolls eyes</em></p>
<p>I'm screwed. Attempt number 3 so far today at hitting the books wish me luck.</p>
<p>Yeah i am like that 2, and hav always been like that even before CC. I just get so distracted and so curious about how i stack up.</p>
<p>what you do is unplug the internet (maybe give the lan cable to your parents) and tell them to give it to you at, say 2 PM.</p>
<p>thus, you can look forward to the researching and etc. for 4 hours, while doing something productive in the waiting.</p>
<p>Or.. force yourself into the library. I suppose you could go CC/look up random stats, but you'll probably be more likely to SAT then research there.</p>
<p>oh my gosh. same here. i just look into it, but i dont really go through with the studying/working hard stuff. </p>
<p>and when i need to type an essay or something i'm usually either on here, college board, facebook, or aim (the orange flashing bugs me, so i HAVE to answer) ... so disconnecting the internet is not a bad idea. </p>
<p>too bad all the computers in my house run on the same WLAN, so my brother would kill me if i disconnected the internet.</p>
<p>go into your hosts file and redirect CC to collegeboard.com :P</p>
<p>Seriously get off this site.</p>
<p>It's crack.</p>
<p>Come back as a senior :)</p>
<p>Feng I have tried to put this site on my host file, it did not work. For some reason I can't get into my host file. </p>
<p>It is now 5 o clock Eastern, and I have still yet to do anything. I did just go to Barnes and Noble and picked up an AP review book and went to the bank. Sadly, today is one of the more productive Saturdays I have had in a long time.</p>
<p>I just don't have the heart to unplug the internet, I'll give it a try in a few minutes.</p>
<p>I'm hopeless.</p>
<p>I finally studied!!! </p>
<p>I went to the library with my SAT book and it worked. I'm going to start doing that a lot more often.</p>
<p>i know what you mean. it's a bad habit
: )</p>
