@1LuckyBrave I’m not a football fanatic by any means, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be Rosen. My dad loves football so I’ll ask him on what his take is. I’m praying my cousin gets into USC so maybe I can write her down, LOL.
I wouldn’t mind the walk though (saves time for exercise, can’t get much of that while in med school I presume). The hospital is really nice, if I ever got into the med school or landed a job at the med center I’d be really grateful.
I should probably stop talking about med school, I need to get thru high school and undergrad first 
.
I’m so close to having A- or above in all my classes! I just need to keep my focus for 8 more weeks…
@FaultyStart nice! The end of the year is always tough, but I think you can do it 
I’m so tired out. I’ve been getting seven and a half hours of sleep every night, so that’s not the problem, but the stress and hard work and raw pain of existence has been getting to me a bit. Nothing feels overwhelming (except for perhaps this darn spring musical with its seven huge ensemble dance numbers. sigh) but I feel overwhelmed. I’ve been experiencing more existential angst than usual recently, too, which is annoying and distracting. I’ll be glad when it’s summer.
@pseudoprimal Me too!!! But unlike you, I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed! Most of the stuff I’m stressing about is stupid. Here’s a whole list of stuff stressing me out: I’m planning on starting two clubs at school (which is a lot of work and stress), trying to get a biomedical internship (I don’t know what my research topic is going to be/ research interest), summer programs, colleges and studying for ap exams in May (my friends have already started and here I am wasting away, not even touching the books—I feel terrible for not studying but can’t bring myself to study).
Phew, that sure felt good.
@shussain2 it’s nice to get it out, isn’t it? It sounds like you have a lot on your plate!
Sorry for the many posts today, you all!
I just finished typing a Physics lab write-up and it was 959 words, 971 if you count the header. Normally my write ups are maybe 600 words, and those are considered long. Oops!
My summer is going to be even busier than my school year… Interning, being a part of the city marching band, taking a community college class, & prepping for the SAT/studying AP Chem and AP Physics ahead of time.
I’ll probably get home at 10 most weekdays, and the weekends will provide no break because of parades.
But it’ll all be fun work, so I’m fine with it. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch up on a new TV show or two during my (nonexistent) free time (on second thought, I won’t have time to stay caught up junior year).
@topaz1116 I hope you have fun with all of that!
My summer won’t provide much of a rest either-- I have the 6 week math-24/7 Ross program followed directly by the weeklong NJLC (Latin) Convention followed two days later by a twoish week family vacation for my graduating sister.
I do hope to listen through the entire Welcome To Nightvale podcast again, though.
Ah, my summer will be absolutely packed with activities! I’m planning on learning a substantial amount of Japanese, volunteering at a local school’s summer program probabbly every other week, doing summer homework, prepping for upcoming AP classes, and so much more!
@pseudoprimal @topaz1116 Your summer plans both seem fantastic; I’m sure both of you will greatly enjoy your summers!
Haha my parents went to UNH and Truman State which really aren’t on my radar as far as colleges go. No legacy bonus there. I’m probably going to visit WUSTL this summer if we go out to St. Louis, but Duke is my dream school. My list right now includes (not in any order):
Duke
Vanderbilt
Wash U
UNC Chapel Hill (out-of-state)
Case Western
Cornell
UMD College Park (fallback in-state school)
Georgia Tech
Notre Dame
UVA
Richmond
I’m going to have to do a lot of SAT stuff this summer if I want to get into any of these schools, PSAT was only 162 
but it kind of reflected my effort on the test: not a lot haha
Oh and @topaz1116 congrats!
Wait OMG @Faultystart you swim! Just wondering what are your times like, I mean if you’re visiting OSU they have to be pretty good. Maryland has a great pool we have our HS champs there, but they shut down their swimming program because it was a “non-football sport”.
@sprights I’ve personally seen the Chosen Rosen during the Trinity League. He is a really adaptable guy, yet he has been playing football for a few years. I agree – my friend’s mom lamented with me how difficult it is to get accepted to Geffen (1.77% acceptance :-t ) Getting accepted into Med School is something.
@greeneggsandsam9 I went to OSU (and Miami University in Oxford and BGSU) for Junior Olympics, mostly in (ew) the 200 Butterfly. My 200 IM (yds) is 2:22.85, 100 Butterfly (yds) is 1:04.08, and my 200 Butterfly (yds) is 2:37.02. The only reason I qualified for JO’s in the 200 Butterfly was because of my long course time (2:43.70).
@1LuckyBrave ahhh I don’t even want to see that number =; I heard undergrad was tough this year too, apparently they only offered 5,700 spots out of the 92,000 applicants? Insane! And I heard that the recruiters love Rosen but they’re still looking for someone else. Lol. Good luck to them!
@sprights Did you apply for the UCLA Riordan’s program?
@1LuckyBrave No I did not, I’m not into business or management, and I cannot apply since I am not a first gen college student. My mom actually did the program the first year it was around and ended up working for Mr. Anderson, so I would assume its a really good program, and builds tons of connections.
Ahh, I was worried about that first gen college student requirement on the website, but I found out that it is just a factor. Honestly, I hate how top colleges factor race, wealth, and location (where you live).
Right! I can’t help that my parents went to college, make money, and are as white as a sheet of paper. 8-| @1LuckyBrave
@sprights Are you going to HOBY this year @ Cal Poly?
