How Did You React to Seeing: "You are Admitted...Congratulations!"

Ah, it was on a sunday. See, it’s called “THE OFFICIAL BIG FAT LETTER” from Carnegie and that thing was so obese the mailman just left it outside since it didn’t fit in the slot. So that saturday I didn’t see it but sunday morning my mom wakes me up and brings the thing to me saying “you got mail”. I was all blurry eyed and made out “CONGRATULATIONS!” and thought “oh thank god”, sleepily shouted “I’M IN! wait? isn’t it sunday?!?” to my mom, and then fell asleep for another hour (this was at 6AM and my mom’s a morning person while I’m not).

It didn’t hit me till I got a grant paying it all there, in which it took me some moments to process, I then did a little jig, and called my mom explaining it all.

I think my acceptance to UT made me more initially happy because it was like “HELL YEAH! I’M AT LEAST GOING TO COLLEGE AND BEING AN ENGINEER!!!”
