<p>@calliemoon11 speaking of So Cal, I just submitted the common app for USC, which is like my dream match school…far away from the frustrating weather of Ohio xD</p>
<p>@calliemoon11 @goodinterrupt @soccerlover17 Omg I applied to a ton of schools in the east coast and I have absolutely no clue how I’m gonna survive the weather… California girl born, raised, and COMPLETELY spoiled by the sun ;)</p>
<p>@skslxxbjk Same! California resident here. The first winter is going to be a major struggle.</p>
<p>Same, I’m from the orange curtain of orange county. I provide less diversity than a piece of toast. :)</p>
<p>Same here!
Representing SoCal. </p>
<p>What do we do after deferral, if we want to continue the process? Do we need to re apply? or add things?</p>
<p>All of the California applicants should go winter coat shopping together lol. </p>
<p>@thingenthusiast That is a brilliant idea!! We should totally do so. </p>
<p>Ya lets see who gets accepted and meet up for like a party or something, It will be fun to meet you all. Maybe we could do a google chat or a Skype or something and talk about where we could meet, when, maybe over the winter break! </p>
<p>@calliemoon11 @skslxxbjk Woooo!! Midwest winters survivor right here!! </p>
<p>Have fun in the snow. I spent the day surfing. haha</p>
<p>@thingenthusiast @clumsy456 I’m from NorCal, but I’ll shop/party with you guys in spirit! 
@oystershelleatme Are you even real… Like what is snow even? LOL</p>
<p>rural Appalachia here…</p>
<p>Is it crazy that I googled if there was a baby boom in 1996 to see if there were statistically more students applying? Is that weird? is that crazy? Maybe I need to find more hobbies. Its getting too cold to go to the beach. Its getting in the 50’s. Thats really cold. For us Socal kids.</p>
<p>@thingenthusiast I feel like that would be the blind leading the blind haha</p>
<p>Cooking is easily one of my favorite hobbies; I recommend it</p>
<p>@clumsy456 </p>
<p>@skslxxbjk: NorCal represent!! And it’s around sixty degrees here and I’m freezing. Those east coast winters sound terrifying…</p>
<p>@clumsy456 I was thinking the same thing. Great idea!</p>
<p>@clumsy456 The number of high school graduates in the US peaked a few years ago and is projected to slightly decrease. I read this while doing research for debate somewhere, I think maybe from the US department of education, but not sure. So don’t worry about that</p>
<p>Proud Wisconsinite here! I survived the greatest winter test of them all last year! We had a two day extension of winter break since it was below -20, so kids couldn’t wait for busses safely :D</p>
<p>@clumsy456 You’re just a sociologist in training!</p>
