<p>I call it P-A-A. Post Application Anxiety. </p>
<p>The cure?</p>
<p>Lots and lots and lots of chocolate...</p>
<p>...and love..</p>
<p>but frankly, i'm out of the latter, so I'm just sticking to chocolate.</p>
<p>But really, what do you guys do to keep yourself busy and occupied and NOT thinking of the news coming in three months. I can't even focus anymore....I'm just hoarding all the chocolate I can.</p>
<p>ice cream.</p>
<p>i hear ya though, days seem like weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks</p>
<p>I share your pain....=</p>
<p>Since last week, I've been obsessively checking my email for confirmation passwords so that I can obsessively check my application status online. ;)</p>
<p>dude......we are all with you!!
all of us are like bursting with anxiety!</p>
<p>anxiety?? JoY!!!</p>
<p>no more apps!!!
I still have to finish my colgate app though</p>
<p>i woke up on new year's eve last year and threw up 4 times in 4 hours, which my friend claims was a cathartic release from having finished. You can keep yourself distracted by spending more time on your ECs now.</p>
<p>wow--i can't say i've thrown up, but i am pretty nervous. my antidote is watching a lot of tv--something i haven't done for years. tv makes you not care about anything.</p>
<p>yay i'm not the only one</p>
<p>during stressful college app time i was sort of not attending to all of my extracurriculars, but now i can devote more time to that, so that is a good way to keep busy....but i am constantly reminded. I guess all we can do is wait.</p>
<p>POST? I've had PRE- and then still am in the midst of it... crazy...</p>

days</p>
<p>Hey. I just realized that the April 1st notification date is on a Saturday. Does that mean they're going to e-mail us on the 31st (Friday)? Or are they going to make us wait an EXTRA FEW DAYS until Monday?</p>
<p>Getting through the day is hard enough already. I mean, trying to remember not to trip over your shoelaces and to cross your Ts...that's tough stuff. Now ADD on the pressure of waiting to see if your dream schools WANT you. Gawsh. </p>
<p>How do you guys think you will deal with rejection? (IF, you are rejected). </p>
<p>I think there's a stage here...</p>
<p>...it begins with denial...as all bad things do.</p>

<p>I post on CC. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>anyone wonder if it's a coincidence how the notification date is the same day as april fools?</p>
<p>haha, my PAA keeps me reading these forums all the time.</p>
<p>the notification date for most of my schools is my birthday. either way awesome. or way lame.</p>
<p>"anyone wonder if it's a coincidence how the notification date is the same day as april fools?"</p>
<p>yeah, I always thought it would be a terrible thing to get a "Congratulations! You have been accepted to X university...."</p>
<p>and at the end...</p>
<p>"APRIL FOOLS! YOU GOT REJECTED, BIZATCH!!"</p>
<p>Like, that would be seriously evil.</p>
<p>As for anxiety, I was just hit by a terrible thought that I won't get in ANYWHERE. Eep.</p>
<p>definitely "PAA" here
seriously, though, the days just creep by. i'm so impatient and anxious. i try to keep myself occupied with my sports and other ec's, but every so often i space out and think about admissions decisions and how screwed i am lol</p>
<p>^ Me too...and it's not fun</p>
<p>the letters start feb 1st.</p>
<p>I'll be in Miami when the decisions come around. For some odd reason, perhaps spring break in Miami, I don't think I will really care what happens</p>
