Sky's the limit

decisions, college.

it’s all over. the envelope is in the mail. there is aBsolutely nothing i can do. there’s no point imAgining the admissions officeRs flippiNg through my pApeRs. there’s no use imagining what they thought as they reaD my essays. COLLEGE counselors always tell you to remember that you did your best. but did i really do my best?

Maybe not.

I could’ve done better. If only I hadn’t No. I can’t change the fact that I did what I did. What happened happened and what’s done is done. Things I’ve learned?

• how to deal with rejection (so I don’t get absolutely crushed in the future)
• always take easy classes and get the A. DO NOT take APs and get a B. Colleges do not like that!! College counselors lie! Don’t get any Bs AT ALL.

The letter comes tomorrow, in the mail. The news I receive tomorrow will determine THE NEXT FOUR YEARS of my life. 

SECRET: Why am I so sure I didn’t get in? BECAUSE I DIDN’T DO MY BEST. THAT’S WHY. AND NOW THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS IT AND IT’S NOT A SECRET ANYMORE. IF I DON’T GET IN, THAT’S WHY. I’m sorry.

Wish me luck.
