With the anxiety attacks slowly creeping up along with the doom of finals awaiting at the corner, for seniors, this may be the toughest time of their whole life.
Many are faced with the question of "where will I turn to now?"
as well as those faced with the euphoria of confirmation that the hard work has finally paid off.
To those accepted,
congratulations.
To those deferred/rejected:
prove those colleges wrong.
Make them realize their worst mistake.
Because even though I am impatiently counting the seconds until my decisions arrive, I know that ultimately, regardless of the decision of a complete stranger judging me through paper, I am the only capable person to develop and paint my own future.
Yes, the admission board as of now may seem like they have everyone's destiny and fate in their hands, but the reality is they only have the power to open or deny ONE opportunity. The next four years after high school life are not up to them.
