Tips to expediate this awful 2-day wait

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>Ok I don’t exactly have tips TO speed things up, but I can certainly compile a list of activities to avoid…</p>

<p>1) visiting the Brown Undergraduate Admissions site and hitting your refresh button aggressively for a 10-or-15 second count.
2) visiting CC on the hour
3) eating brownies (amazing now what will cause your mind to drift back into the dark hole of admission anxiety)</p>

<p>And uh, that’s about it for now. Whoever proposed the whole practice-what-you-preach nonsense clearly didnt apply to college. Which is why I’m headed downstairs… to have a brownie…</p>

<p>But I mean if you do have some helpful, nonjagoff tips, I’m sure they’d be wonderfully appreciated.</p>

<p>Lastly, good luck to all of you.</p>

2

<p>sleep as much as possible.</p>

3

<p>Rent a Brown Bear suit and stand at the entrance to your drive awaiting the mail? Handing out flowers???</p>

4

<p>^ i just laughed out loud at that and im in my history class haha!
THANKS</p>

5

<p>i started a garden in my back yard.....</p>

6

<p>I am um...not doing my homework? Haha.</p>

7

<p>Go out with your friends! Watch a silly movie that has nothing to do with high school or college! Read a book!</p>

8

<p>On Thursday, I decided that I will go to the beach and stay out until very late lol.</p>

9

<p>that's crazy.... i am actually doing all of those things!! we actually have two boxes of brownies at my house AND someone brought some to school today. i may actually be getting sick of brownies :P</p>

10

<p>Since thursday is my first day of spring break, i am spending the entire day out shopping and seeing a movie so that I don't die from the wait.</p>

11

<p>Get drunk....</p>

12

<p>Ohh.... Write poetry about how much you want to get in. Ummm.... I tried the Brownie thing but it just reminded me too much of Brown. I actually have started a colored pencil drawing in which I only use different shades of Brown.- like honey-brown or red-brown. I also listen to the song "Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown" and read about H Rap Brown in my history book.</p>

13

<p>or eat some sleeping pills and sleep and wake up on thursday night the second before decision comes...</p>

14

<p>Time-machine. It's the only answer.</p>

15

<p>Where I work (pharmacy), brown is everywhere. Brown shoe polish, "Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?" children's book, Dan Brown and some 3 other "Brown" authors, check from someone last name Brown, Brown marker, brown honey, and a UPS truck outside with our latest delivery... </p>

<p>But I'm actually worrying about it less and less as the time approaches, though without a doubt, the worry-graph will shoot sky high as soon as Thursday rolls around.</p>

<p>In fact, if I had to graph my worriedness, the equation would be </p>

<p>lim x-->0 from negative infinity, y=-1/x.</p>

<p>Math is fun.</p>

<p>When you guys find out, and if it's a good discovery, JOIN THE BROWN MYSPACE GROUP ASAP!! we need more people on it, and can't wait to meet you all - it's getting lonely with us Early decisioners hogging up the board, we need some new faces :-)</p>

<p>Great, just add to the panic by introducing enticing activies for those who are accepted, matty.</p>

18

<p>drinking is more fun...</p>

19

<p>What I'd like to do: sleep. If you manage to sleep at all, do so right up to the D-hour (D is for Death). Then wake up and check all the decisions, and hopefully the emotional impact of negative ones might be lessened when you're still groggy:D
Anyway, what I'm actually going to do: buy A LOT of chips (I love chips, love it love it love it, yum!); try to finish Angels and Demons (what the heck) and stay up and chat the night away with CC'ers (yes, for me the decisions come at the ungodly hour of 5 AM). In short I'm gonna enjoy the last happy hours of my life to the full;)</p>

<p>My decisions come at 7am, so I'll login the first thing i wake up.</p>
