Senior year is so stressful,
but I really want to be successful.
I had to finish all my college apps,
but I just wanted to sleep and collapse.
I was in such a hurry to finish applying
that I didn't realize that I clicked Early Decision for binding.
Right there and then I wanted to cry,
I just wanted to give up and not even try.
University at Buffalo was not my top school,
I ended up feeling like a complete fool.
I ran to my guidance councilor in despair,
and God had answered my prayer.
She told me to be careful before I press submit,
but she would help me fix it.
We called the school and they said to fax a request,
and once we sent it I just hoped for the best.
The next week I received confirmation,
and I was no longer in devastation.
They changed my request to Regular Decision,
I am no longer stressed and so thankful for the revision.
There's so much to fill out on college applications so many people don't realize they fill in early decision! I felt very anxious reading your poem, it made me nervous for you. But I'm really glad they were able to change you to regular decision, especially since it's not your top choice. Regardless, I hope you get in!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been such a horrible feeling! Filling out college applications is stressful enough as it is, so I can only imagine how nervous and upset you must have felt when you realized what had happened. I was very glad to hear that even a scary mistake like that one can be fixed and that everything is fine now! Great poem and good luck with all of your admission decisions :)
