<p>^ Same. Last week, I stayed home because I just felt sick with everything in general. </p>
<p>It feels like everything I do is pointless. I studied hard for my SATs all summer in hopes of getting National Merit Finalist, and I didn’t make it. Mediocre. It feels like everything I do is going to waste. Even though I’m atheist, to quote scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:2-18. Everything I’m doing is going to waste.</p>
<p>I would have stayed home this Monday if not for the fear of all the make-up work I’d have to do. </p>
<p>Everyone’s getting their early college decisions…this is going to be all of us next year, which is exciting but also slightly terrifying.</p>

<p>Ahhh. In less than a year, we’ll be applying for colleges. And I haven’t even taken the SAT yet. .-.</p>
<p>One of my friends got ED into Middlebury and another got in ED to Columbia. I’m so jealous. They’re done with high school. </p>
<p>To be honest, the only reason I’m bothering with this whole “college” thing is because I got waitlisted at Hogwarts when I was 11…it’s been almost six years and I’m still on that list.</p>
<p>One of the kids on my track team found out within the past few days that he was accepted to Harvard!
The two schools that make up this track team( both prestigious magnet schools) usually only have one or two students a year accepted to Ivy League colleges, so it is a big deal!</p>
<p>I also found out today that I will be writing a weekly column in the local newspaper about my school! Only one student from my school was chosen to do this, so I’m very honored!</p>

Same situation here. I studied really hard for the PSAT this summer but a couple of stupid, stupid math mistakes killed my score. I guess I’ll have to settle for Commended. </p>
<p>@rumorsareflying Congrats!</p>
<p>I’m so stressed out right now with semester exams coming up and I haven’t even started studying. >.<</p>
<p>Don’t want to take the SAT next month ):</p>
<p>I have no idea if my PSAT scores are out yet. </p>
<p>But I’m really nervous about them…</p>
<p>@Smrtical Have you tried looking at your score through the Palmer or JacobBrunson methods? Then you won’t have to wait</p>
<p>Did anyone take the ACT today? Talk about a surprise! I took so many practice tests, and boy were the math and science sections tricky!</p>
<p>@SippingCoffee
What’s that?</p>
<p>I haven’t been on here in forever, wow.</p>
<p>@emtfxc I took the ACT today, boy the reading and science were the most challenging. Math was straight forward except for a few questions. </p>
<p>Today was the winter dance at my school; I didn’t go, but one of my friends did (and got a date) and she and her date ended up making the dance court. </p>
<p>I’m debating whether I really want to study medicine or not. Science fascinates me, but I’m fiercely analytical and I would consider myself clever. I’m studying about legal professions right now and the more I read, the more I fall in love with the field. </p>

<p>You don’t have to decide too soon. Law schools like to accept a lot of science majors, so you can major in something science-y.</p>
