<p>for seniors,
what did you do for 3/4months before results are out.</p>
<p>considering most of us might be already gradates,
what are you doing/planning to do next.</p>
<p>Trolling around, travelling, may be watching awful no. of movies and occasionally reading interesting books</p>
<p>Don’t you guys have the Jan 15 deadlines to worry about? I’m still pulling my hair out on the supplements, and you’re talking about traveling and watching movies >.< I need a break from this crap; I spend a minimum of 10 hours in front of the computer screen nowadays. College apps are definitely not healthy. Anyways, how were your apps? Completed? What about the fin aid stuff?</p>
<p>That question is meant for seniors. Right now, everyone has the Jan 15 deadlines to worry about. ;D</p>
<p>Lol, right, sorry. This is just proof that the apps are getting to my head and messing with it pretty badly.</p>
<p>haha. doesn’t apply to me. got my finals and coursework i am ignoring over my essays to worry about after i’m done with the essays. 
:(</p>
<p>Doesn’t senior mean the ones studying in grade XII? if not, my bad that I actually replied…</p>
<p>^that’s high school seniors. i think quantumtuneling meant seniors as in those who had applied before us. right?</p>
<p>yes, the question was for our seniors, who are in college now.
And also for high school graduates.
Sorry i did not mean high school seniors.
But the tense ‘did’ should have made it clear.</p>
<p>As for jan15 deeeadlines and finaids, i completed most of them a little early.</p>
<p>As for me, I found amazing books but have not read yet.
Of any of you guys are interested in QM, GR, String theories, check these books.
The Universe Before the Bing Bang
Exploring Black Holes: ntroduction to General Relativity</p>
<p>And more advanced but introductory texts for UGrads/Grads</p>
<p>Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics for solidstate physics.
Mathematical methods for physicists</p>
<p>Thanks quantum, I’m a total physics nerd, I’ll be glad to check those books out. Looking forward to General Relativity, in particular; I studied Special Relativity by myself and found it fascinating! Also, are there any good math reference books that can go along with the aforementioned books? Understanding General Relativity takes considerable mastery over tensor calculus and multivariable calculus, so I would appreciate it if you could list some good math books too. Thanks, you just made my summer! :)</p>
<p>you might find this text helpful.
A first course in general relativity. By bernard schutcz. Cambridge U press.</p>
<p>The problem with these is that they are expensive.</p>
<p>I’ve not even started writing supplements. I guess I will be submitting them after the deadline. :D</p>
<p>What I think is best for the next three months (My Own opinion, if someone disagrees, that’s fine. I don’t need a flame war.)</p>
<p>Stay away from text books. you’ll do a lot of studying in college. Chill, get some rest after all the application stuff and stress of high school and everything. Watch movies, go to places, hang out with friends, sleep. For the love of god, sleep. I’ve never appreciated sleep as much as I do now, after three semesters in college. </p>
<p>Just chill, you know. go crazy (be careful though).</p>
<p>didn’t you ever felt that you might have done something before going there?</p>
<p>besides travelling</p>
<p>done stuff outside of school, and non-academic. I did do them, but not enough.</p>
