@julia35002 Hang out with your family! If that’s not possible, treat yourself! Give yourself a mini spa day, make your fav food, anything that makes you feel special.
@julia35002 one pound of jellybeans and a carton of ice cream
@julia35002 In the words of the immortal Parks and rec… treat yo self 
AHH prom is so stressful!!! I am making vegan brownies to prompose to my friend and I am worried about screwing them up… Also getting a dress is the actual worst thing ever? I just missed a really good sale on jcpenney’s online store and I don’t know when I’ll be able to go out to the stores soon to go dress shopping… Why is prom so much effort right around musical season???
@Marg532 dear lord stop. You are stressing me out. Mine isn’t for another 2 months and all these other girls already have their dresses and everything but meanwhile I haven’t even decided if I’m going yet. Ahhhhhhh
Mine’s not until the beginning of June but I already got my prom dress because the only other break we have between now and then is spring break & I’m sure that’s going to be really chaotic with college decisions! I went to the PromGirl store in NJ and it’s always frustrating but it wasn’t godawful.
I legit started crying today in English bc I was checking my email and found out I got accepted to Syracuse! With a $28,000/yr scholarship!!! Honestly I’m still crying
Congrats @ski_racer!
@ski_racer congrats!!! I’m still waiting to hear back from Syracuse, so fingers crossed!
So yesterday and today I was at USC. I was sold on the school before, and now I just want to be here. I met SO many amazing people who were doing amazing things. I met a guy (he was super cute btw) who’s a writer and editor at the campus newspaper. He said that he’d show me around where they work, but it was closed by then. But he really encouraged me to get involved as a writer and talked to me about sports journalism on campus.
There were a lot of different people that I met and I really enjoyed talking to all of them. It just kinda solidified my desire to go there.
Also, my scholarship interview went really well. I hope I get the full tuition scholarship, but we’ll see. We had a good time just having a conversation. It went by so fast.
March 5th feels like a life time away smh
@Barekk What school(s) are you waiting on?
@Barekk March is going to feel like both an eternity and no time at all for me. Lots of things going on and college decisions as well.
If y’all are looking for scholarships.
Good news! Got my prom dress but I was very indecisive between two and it was annoying my mom to no end haha I’m happy with my choice now though. However, I’m promposing to my friend and she always talks about how she’s vegan (yeah she’s one of those vegan people haha) so I thought it would be fun to make vegan brownies to prompose except… vegan baking takes a certain expertise and I managed to make brownies that are simultaneously rock hard and oily/soft at the same time. She knows I’m making brownies (but not why obviously) and said that she’s sure they’re edible but I’m not quite convinced lol we will see what happens tomorrow!
On another note, it’s my last two weeks of musical season aka the most stressful time of my life! That and the anticipation of my last two college acceptances are looming over my head and I’m not excited for my life starting tomorrow… I’m not religious and I’m praying for myself haha
How are you all dealing with your parents? My mom has slowly been making my curfew earlier and earlier bc she’s afraid of letting go… I went from not having one last year to 12:30 in September to 9:00 this weekend. I understand her anxieties but I’m starting to feel a bit suffocated.
@ski_racer My mom’s getting emotional. Maybe it’s just today–I played the national anthem at a college basketball game–but she’s getting emotional regarding me being a senior and getting close to getting decisions and graduating. I think it stems from me being her eldest child. We’re just taking things day by day at this point since March is going to be super busy and I’m already getting anxious about decisions.
How are you guys dealing with anxiety/stress regarding decisions coming out soon? I’m already getting super nervous (like angry butterflies in my stomach nervous) regarding decisions and my next one is still ~2 weeks away.
@frazzledazzle Not nervous bc I love my safety! I would say I’m more stressed about my back (still injured) and my social life (suffering bc of my injury)
@ski_racer That’s awful! I hope your back gets better soon!
I’m nervous bc I have high stakes (kinda) schools coming out soon. They’re my top choices and are selective schools. I like my safety, but it’s way too close to home (15 minutes north on the highway) for my tastes and isn’t amazing. Perks of living in a state where the state schools aren’t super duper.
Just learned that MA doesn’t have Krispy Kremes…should I bring some up for my dorm mates?
