<p>I feel like I have CCD XD
In a sense though, I find that being surrounded by overachievers pushes me to work harder.</p>
<p>Never. I used this site to realize that I don’t want to be like the Ivy puppies here. I realized I should just relax and go to the school that made me at home. No matter if nobody has ever heard of it.</p>
<p>The whole parents thing speaks to me, lol. </p>
<p>I’ve asked questions before and been called practically worthless by some parents. O<strong>o Especially when it comes to income. The whole boot straps mentality is prevalent amongst many parents. I’m low income and this one parent began complaining that I should know I have advantages (I’m very grateful for them, mind you) that his kids don’t have (fee waivers for tests and the like that I don’t even qualify for, lol). Like, seriously?
Yea, I’ll gladly trade my ability to apply to 15+ schools for a stable home with two parents in it. -</strong>-</p>
<p>I don’t really have depression, but it’s scary seeing all the highly qualified people not make it into their colleges of choice. I guess I’m sort of one of the people that can seem like an “overachiever” but without CC I wouldn’t have known to do a bunch of things. I’m ultimately glad I found this site, although I still get somewhat sad when I see people taking Calc BC in 9th grade.</p>
<p>Same here. I got pretty academically depressed not so long ago and stopped logging on for a while, but this really is a pretty helpful site (minus the trolls, obviously).</p>
<p>This site is like tumblr in text form.</p>
<p>So, so much. I honestly hate myself for not being better because if people better than me get rejected, what kind of chance do I have? I’m already far below average at the schools I’m applying to which makes me question why I even bothered applying at all. I think I just like deluding myself to believe I have a chance at these colleges. Goddamn.</p>
