Are you suffering from CCD (College Confidential Depression)?

Pre-College Topics High School Life
1

<p>Symptoms:

  • Crying yourself to sleep because you don’t have the 4.0 GPA, 2300+ SAT score that everyone else seems to have.
  • Sleeping with your SAT book in order to score as close to a 2400 as humanly possible.
  • Obsessively googling all your top colleges and ■■■■■■■■ forums to figure out a way to get in.
  • Hanging out on the CC forums during winter break.</p>

<p>Treatment:
HAHAHAHAHHAAHHA. There isn’t one.
(Other than never visiting CC again… but that’s like cutting off your hand. Who would ever do that?!)</p>

<p>Any sufferers out there?</p>

<p>“but that’s like cutting off your hand. Who would ever do that?!”</p>

<p>Someone with gangrene?</p>

<p>Maybe in the first month I was on here. Then I realized getting into Ivy-esque colleges is pretty much a lost cause for me, so I gave it up. Junior year is way too late to start thinking about this stuff if you want to go to an Ivy.</p>

3

<p>I haven’t slept with my SAT book yet, we’re taking it slow. :)</p>

4

<p>I wined and dined my SAT book before, of course :wink: I am nothing if not a gentlewoman :D</p>

5

<p>Thank God I’m not the only person who immediately thought of that when I read “sleeping with your SAT book.”</p>

<p>I’ve had several college catalogs lying on my bed for the past six months, just because I’m a slob.</p>

6

<p>Uh…no. Except maybe that last one.</p>

7

<p>I think this site brings out the worst in people.</p>

8

<p>If the stuff people post on those chances threads is their worst side, I don’t want to see their best.</p>

<p>A lot of people do that whole self-deprecating fish-for-compliments thing on here. And I’ve done it before too, but I’m not the only one. As in people saying their grades are “decent” when they got straight A’s.</p>

9

<p>someone help me</p>

10

<p>I know this probably isn’t the best way, but I’ve found that looking at all the…negative reviews on other sites(such as urban dictionary) concerning CC really makes you feel better.</p>

<p>@purmou I think it brings out the Asian overachiever (even if you’re not Asian) in all of us :smiley:
And I seriously underestimated the dirty minds of CCers when I said “sleeping with SAT books.”
For the record, I have none of the above symptoms except the last one :smiley: I’m just about to spiral into that pit though.
@aj1996 I THINK YOU’VE DISCOVERED THE CUREEEEEEEEEEE!</p>

12

<p>^ditto
The Urban Dictionary definition of C.C. is hilariously accurate.</p>

13

<p>no…besides that last one, but that’s not really for college sake, that’s just me being on HSL. </p>

<p>Sleeping with my SAT book? Not that desperate ;)</p>

14

<p>added to the list: obsessively calculating your GPA by inputting numbers into a calculator every hour.</p>

15

<p>It’s not like I check my grades multiple times a day and constantly compare myself to you smart people… No not all at <em>insert nervous laugh here</em></p>

16

<p>

</p>

<p>I do that lol. Not every hour but every week. I don’t know why though. It’s not like my GPA is going up every time I calculate it.</p>

17

<p>Lol I do. BIG TIME!</p>

18

<p>I need halp pls. </p>

<p>Replace 2300 SAT with 34+ ACT and you have my life.</p>

<p>Even searching for a job has been placed on the back burner in favor of this process. Ugh.</p>

19

<p>Why am I even awake right now?</p>

<p>Does reading yourself to sleep with a complex analysis textbook count?</p>
