<p>I will not be brave enough to check my online status! I will just wait for the rejection to arrive in my mailbox.</p>
<p>I dreamt about getting accepted to Brown U…
I hope my dream comes true :)</p>
<p>Based on my experiences in the last 4 years, my dreams and ambitions are usually ridiculed, flattened, incinerated, and then promptly disposed of on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I think that my imminent rejection from Brown will be another nice addition to the my massive landfill already collected on BBD. I’ll need to have clean-up crews readied soon. </p>
<p>But I do hope my next 4 years in college go a lot better, just like it did in middle school. Middle school was awesome. Hopefully I’ll be walking down another Boulevard of Fulfilled Dreams.</p>
<p>Then again, life may just be an epic tale of suckiness that has not reached its climax.</p>
<p>(Sorry usually I’m a little less pessimistic, but I’m just in a really terribly sour mood today …)</p>
<p>^ i feel the same way :/</p>
<p>why does my birthday have to be on the 31st…</p>
<p>ugh oh well, I’m not really expecting to get into any of the ivies after I got deferred from ED anyway.</p>
<p>i hope you all realize that self-deprecation doesn’t really win you any karma points.</p>
<p>have some self-confidence for christ’s sake.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but sometimes self-confidence is overrated. That also doesn’t earn you any extra points …</p>
<p>Not saying that getting into Brown is the end of the world because it really doesn’t matter that much in the end … I’m just saying life in general is very sucky … it throws all kinds of crap at you and you have to find a way to deal with it.</p>
<p>Maybe that crap is what helps make life more meaningful…</p>
<p>i think your “view on life” speaks volumes in itself. i would recommend speaking to a professional before your self-esteem problem gets worse.</p>
<p>self-confidence may not help you get into brown but it certainly goes much farther in helping to soothe the sting of rejection-- which is really only exacerbated by the ridiculous wallowing in pity and the woe-is-me attitude that everyone has been adopting to psych themselves down.</p>
<p>it becomes kind of disgusting when every post is "OMG I’M SOOOO NOT GOOD ENOUGH 4 BROWN BUT I HOPE I GET IN!!~!@# and yet these kids are great students with above average everything and interesting extracurriculars.</p>
<p>You actually misunderstand my view on life slightly. Really I feel that life is crappy because life is sooo mundane and routine – work, work, work, relax, work, work, work, check CC (lol) … Self-confidence doesn’t make you feel better in this.</p>
<p>All I really need to take a break from the cycle … I need a vacation badly … see new things. (not that I have senioritis … you learn new things everyday … it’s just same things, same people, same place, same old same old)</p>
<p>I hate being stuck in the same place for long stretches of time (aka here in Michigan for 17 years). I applied to Brown and other places out of state because I wanted to go somewhere else, somewhere “new.” (Well Brown isn’t exactly new b/c I’ve been there for Summer@Brown, but I really enjoyed my time there) </p>
<p>Plus, it’s so miserable here in Michigan, because everything really is downright crappy here. (The weather lately makes it worse, hence my more pessimistic mood than usual)</p>
<p>I was just saying that life is 90% crappy, because then you’ll treasure the 10% even more.</p>
<p>But yea, maybe walking down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams view on life contributes to my pessimism. That I’ll admit.</p>
<p>ok. best of luck in all of your endeavors, college and otherwise.</p>
<p>same to u2! (one of my fav bands ever btw … coldplay’s #1)</p>
<p>Only two months left. yay!</p>

<p>When I went to the link for Brown Admissions that someone posted, it said the decision will be released on April 1st. Do they release the decisions March 31st anyway???</p>
