<p>Camelia,</p>
<p>No matter what happens in Princeton admissions, just take from all of this that your writing and the way in which your self comes through is in some way inspirational to many and will serve you well. This is just one moment in a life. Yes, Princeton is wonderful. So are many other schools. And that I, Princeton advocate to the end, would tell you this in order to ensure that you have the right perspective and can somehow keep something of value from an anonymous Internet board no matter what your admissions outcome, well, that in itself says something.</p>
<p>Enjoy your life. Appreciate your talents. Relax. The things you believe will be difficult will be easy. The things you believe you understand will be mysterious. The surprises that bring you the most surpassing joy are not to be predicted. Pay attention to the details now so that you can remember them when your memory is no longer so great. Write a lot down.</p>
<p>Pat some dogs. Kiss some babies' cheeks. Breathe in some air shared by plants. All will be well and all manner of things will be well.</p>
