I had learned from fellow CC’ers on the BU message board the date that they would post their online decisions. They were to be released on a Monday but the exact time was still unknown. That weekend, I was a nervous mess. On Saturday morning, I woke up thinking it was Monday. On Sunday, I woke up sprinting to the computer “just in case.” On Monday morning, I checked the Applicant Link twice before driving to school. During my third period study hall, I checked once more. Nothing. I began to worry that my behavior was bordering on paranoia… and so, I checked again. And I was accepted. It didn’t hit me at first; like all of that waiting and anxiousness, and I’m thinking, “This is it. This is the moment.” The excitement slowly built, and I suddenly found myself unable to control it. I wanted to tell someone or scream or something, but I suppose it’s taboo to scream in the library. Instead, I tapped the shoulder of the person sitting next to me and whispered, “Hey! Guess what? I got into BU! I got into BU!” He gave me a blank stare for a good ten seconds and without a word, turned around to finish typing his paper.

Okay, so it’s not HA-HA funny…
