How To: Wait for a College Admission Decision Patiently

Hey, I'm C and I am the most impatient person on the face of this planet. I admit it. You all have no idea how much anxiety I've gotten waiting for college decisions. (and I'm also a chronic-non-procrastinator,) making my wait longer.

5 Tips To follow:

1. DO NOT CHECK COLLEGE CONFIDENTIAL. If you don't know what that is, don't seek it out. I promise you. It's far to stressful.

2. Be prepared for one of four results: Accepted, Deferred, Waitlisted, or Denied. And imagine your situation for all situations. It helps a lot to be mentally prepared.

3. Don't start countdowns on countdowns on countdowns. Yup, I had countdowns on my phone, planner, every notebook, laptop, and yes: on my mirror. Which were great, until my dad told me how unhealthy that was. And he has a point. Limit yourself to one countdown. That's what I did, and it helped.

4. Distract Yourself. Working out has helped me a lot. I can focus my nervous energy on a bike, and not on staring at a piece of loose leaf writing XYZ University in my planner.

5. Remember, what's meant to be, will be.

PS-Am I the only one that is this crazy to have problems like this? It's just so hard when you know the exact day!

Sunday Slow Down

We typically let ourselves get into a Sunday rush. We're scrambling to study, do homework, run errands. So this Sunday, we suggest that everyone "slow down." Here are a few fun things to do!

Via

Brunch or breakfast is a great way to end one week and start another. Grab some friends or your family and have a leisurely brunch!

Via

Of course, we don't always have a few hours to kill on Sundays. (Either that or we want to sleep in!) Sit down to coffee whether you hit up Starbucks, or make your own latte. Sit down and enjoy!

Via

We all have that stack of magazines or newspapers we've been meaning to read. Sit down and just read! It's the perfect time to catch up on current affairs.

Via

Take a walk or run. Most of us have had some gorgeous weather! Take advantage of the weather if you can. It's a great way to clear your head. Why not call up a friend and invite him or her on a Sunday stroll?

Via

Lastly, lay in bed. Give yourself an extra little bit in bed! Lounge, sleep, listen to music, just breathe! 

We hope you all have a fantastic Sunday and take some time to yourself! Let us know what you're doing this Sunday!

XOXO,

A+C
