A Sense of Feeling Nervous/Scared/Worried

[One-Way]

Today feels weird.

It feels like those days when I used to stay home from school in elementary/middle/high school. It just feels weird. My mom would be cleaning the house as she is now and it's just so quiet. I can't describe the feeling but I can tell you this.

I woke up not feeling so good. I'm supposed to be working on my applications for school. I guess since I was feeling a little sick and considering the entire afternoon has been feeling weird, I'm beginning to worry.

I'm scared about the fact that these applications are due. I'm scared about my writing and if it's not good enough. I'm just scared... I can't even write, I feel like sleeping. I read some "sample essays" of people who got into Harvard/Princeton and whatever, and I just started thinking of the council reading my essay along with 5,000 other students. What if I'm not good enough? I feel... sad.

Because I'll never be good enough!

Some days, I have no worries because I know what to write about and I'm confident. Other days, like today, I feel like telling myself to stop joking. Who am I kidding? 5,000+ applicants and they only choose about 20.

NZ universities are better than US universities:

1) The rich kids are Chinese (and usually very nice people)
2) It costs around $4000 a year (for domestic students)
3) Interest free loans
4) Courses have no more than 200 people in them
5) There is a consensus the Armenian genocide happened
6) You can get through University without having to meet stupid draconian guidelines you get at Harvard,etc
7) You can withdraw from courses and get your money back
8) It a well known fact that most university students get drunk/on minor drugs, and they don't test you
9) You don't get beaten up
10) NZ universities are generally disorganized, sometimes to the level of Monty Python

That's the way I see it, lol. My mother went through US universities, its hell.

Hope you do okay though.

Jesus OneWay! Relax and lose the sense of impending doom. I'm sure you'll get into a good college (even with your B- GPA ).

This business of getting worked up over college acceptence is wasted energy because in the grand scheme of things, it does not matter so much where you get an undergraduate degree, it matters only if you have one.

If I were you I would not worry so much about what college you go to. I would worry about doing well in that institution and making connections while you are there in order to get an edge on the career of your choice.

Also, if for some reason you don't get into the college of your choice, there is always an option to transfer.

You'll have a lot of things to stress over in your life...college acceptance should not be one of them.

The problem is your avatar One-Way.

I think it's channeling some negative energy your way. You have to change it to something a bit more Dionysian.
