Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

<p>Here I am doing work and that song comes up on my itunes and it makes me think about how much I hate this insecurity, the purgatory we are wallowing in waiting for decisions, not knowing what we are doing next year or how to pack our stuff up or what to tell our friends. Its a really uncomfortable feeling and the fact that ive been up on frappuccinos the last four days finishing all my final work isnt helping.
Just thought Id share, cause I know its better to go through something knowing that you arent alone. So, if you feel like I feel, you aren’t alone!</p>

<p>Amen, iplayo.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, it feels like we have been wrongfully accused of a crime and have been sentenced to death - and are waiting to find out if the verdict has been overturned.</p>

<p>it’s nice to know that we aren’t alone, but at the same time, the wait is just as hard as ever. oh man</p>

<p>yes it def. does feel like a purgatory. there’s no remedy for these insecurities.</p>

<p>As someone stated before: at this point, I don’t even care if I get universal rejection. </p>

<p>I just want to move on with life.</p>

<p>this is like purgatory except i would rather just get the decision that i am going to hell rather than waiting even longer.</p>

<p>it’s so much harder than when we applied as freshman because we don’t have the support of our peers. in high school we all played the same waiting game…but as transfers you really feel like youre on your own. imagine if we didn’t have cc!</p>

<p>waiting is horrible but i care a lot about the decision…the only thing worse than waiting is the thought of staying here :(</p>

<p>i hear that! i just want to burn this place down. i am counting the days. i will never have to come back to this place. i will no long have to leave two hours early because of traffic.</p>

<p>jack johnson rocks.</p>

<p>it’s even worse for intnl students… my whole life is going to change if i get an acceptance letter - my future will change completely with moving to a new country i never lived before… it’s so annoying to think that at one nice day you will get either everything or nothing. I can’t plan more than one month ahead… and yeah, jack johnson rocks.</p>

<p>that song is awesome. have you heard ‘breakdown’? one of my favorite songs ever!</p>

<p>bnx86 - you’re right, this is sooo much worse than last year!! plus, i now feel like i REALLY know what i want and what i need, now that i’ve experienced what isn’t right for me…</p>

<p>good luck to everyone!!!</p>

<p>I hate this feeling of “self, YOU screwed this up by not being more mature last year when you applied and not knowing your self, so now YOU have to suffer for it but you deserve it” and I know that nobody deserves to be unhappy because at 17 they didnt know what they wanted but a lot of things we feel dont make sense. (like at the beginning of the year being physically attracted to that jerk down the hall who mentally repulses us, for example…not that i know)</p>

<p>or that you screwed up by making the wrong decision and not going to your dream school because of money and going somewhere that gave you tons of money but that you hated when you visited…hrrmpph</p>

<p>down to the last stretch everybody who is still waiting, its a week left for most right?
Well, best of luck to everybody, I hope this week doesn’t drag on tooo long, but I hope that we all find something enjoyable about everyday. </p>

~Iplayoboe <— speaking of which, I still do, im glad i didnt drop after high school like most people</p>

<p>Chicago has no eta.</p>

<p>i am for sure getting my first decision this week. the admissions lady at one of the schools i applied to said that if i did not get one by friday that i should call back up there. i am nervous.</p>

<p>I think Rice might come this week for those interested…b/c last year, it was sent out on the 29th</p>
