How do you handle April 1st?

<p>April Fools’ Day? No, I mean the “college decisions day”! </p>

<p>My friends and I were having a discussion about April 1st, which happen to be only 29 days apart from today (March 1st). Most of us are going to receive at least 6 college decisions through either mail or email on that day. We just worried about how to handle our emotions if all of them are rejections. </p>

<p>Here are the suggestions that we’ve talked about:</p>

<p>(1) Go to a friend’s house and check the decisions at one place. If get accepted, you can cheer; if not, at least you have friends. </p>

<p>(2) Tell the parents to check those for you. They won’t say anything if you get rejected.</p>

<p>(3) We have a week of spring break, we can just check one per day. </p>

<p>(4) Try to check the decisions in the morning, so you can do whatever as soon as possible to save your chance!</p>

<p>(5) Prepare yourself right now. </p>

<p>(6) Don’t go on Facebook only if you get rejections. Many status will be like “YES!!! Whatever University Class of 2016!” That will just make you sadder. That also applies to Twitter.</p>

<p>(7) Don’t go on CC, especially the stats pages. Again, only if you are rejected. </p>

<p>(8) Make sure it’s not one of those April Fools thing. Sometimes parents and friends can be mean. </p>

<p>So, how do you handle April 1st? All practical and humorous suggestions are welcomed!</p>

<p>Haha, my top was Umich and they had rolling (I got accepted almost a month ago), so by the time all my regular decision schools come out this April, I won’t be too nervous when I open the envelopes/check my email. When I checked my email to view my decision at Umich, I was so anxious my hand actually twitched and I ended up clicking it by accident, even though I was planning on waiting until my parents got home to find out hahaha. I was so relieved!</p>
