Acceptance E-mails

Just a short blog post due to the fact that senioritis is hitting us hard and March madness is beginning.

March. Colleges and Universities start sending out decisions. Its pretty exciting. Once a University accepts you (one definitely will, unless you have a 20 GPA) or better yet, once you get an e-mail from one your hands might get sweaty. Your heart may stop beating. Your eyes might twitch. Your stomach might drop. It's a nerve-wracking feeling... anyways once you open that e-mail and find out you've been accepted.... jump! scream! rejoice! celebrate! Or play it the cool way and act all indifferent, but we all know you care.

The next step is telling your parents, be creative! Don't just go with the "Hey Mom! Hey Dad! I got accepted!". BORING. Play a practical joke on them, start screaming for help and once they get to your room act as if your hyperventilating and point at your computer screen.  I don't know... you come up with something more creative!

The point is, enjoy this moment. It only happens once in a lifetime (or 30 if you applied to 30 universities). Take a deep breath, smile, and feel proud of yourself. You deserve it.
