The title says it all. I’m sure everyone has something to share. To me, CC is really intimidating with so many people sharing how they’re doing in scool and life. I guess my competitive nature is set very low in reality, but making an appearance on this site once in a while makes me live a little harder.
Please share your thoughts, and be honest. Honesty is pleasant and feelings are encouraged.
thanks 
Every thread here:
Poster #1: “I want to go to HYPSM”
Poster #2: “You HAVE to go to University of Alabama. Otherwise you will be in debt FOREVER.”
Poster #3: “Those ECs are weak.”
Cool, a bunch of information on NMSC.
OMG, people discuss the answers to real SAT questions.
“Finally more people who take education as seriously as I do”
“Cool, I found the nerds/overachievers”
“Oh. My. God.” (pause) “I feel so inadequate.”
“All these people are so much better than I am!” sobs in corner
I never realized that college applications were supposed to be a part time job.
I was so overwhelmed, I didn’t know there was a forum where people discussed about college applications. I was intimidated by how competitive some students were, but at the same time they inspired me to do better in school.
Felt like I belong, honestly.
I am such a slacker parent
1 .IAmNotCreativ – It is not you. It is the Administrative Officers and Guidance Counselors who are generally inadequate.
A bunch of kids who probably have superiority complexes and think they know everything there is to know about getting into college because they’ve spent over 50 hours on one site.
Personally, I thought there was going to be a lot of bragging and condescension and whatnot, but most of the posts don’t seem to reflect that. A lot of the people here seem to be level-headed and, to be honest, quite good people. Darn I wish there were more braggarts on the website though - I could teach them a thing or two

First thing I thought was that I was stupid. Second thing, you are all like my friend Jeffery
“Damn i need to step up my game.” pauses “Eh they’re all probably lying about all the stuff they’re doing anyway”
My first impression was that this site is for straight-A, all honors/AP students who load up on EC’s and work sorely for the Ivy League/Selective College acceptance letter(s).
Still stands…
“O_O I feel so incompetent”… I thought I was on track academically, but then you see people who have a 5.0 gpa, over 9000 hours of volunteering, are the captain of 3 varsity sports teams, took 10 AP classes junior/senior year, published a book, cured cancer, and achieved world peace and still don’t get into HYPSM, so any chances of me making ivy league can just be tossed out the window along with any hopes of impressing anybody on CC.
“You mean that there really are people who see the world in that sort of zero-sum way? Dang. I think I hate my own species now.”
What’s a DH? DD? DS?
Is HYPSM a venereal disease?
