April 1st is a scary day.

April 1st is the day pretty much every relatively determined high school senior anxiously awaits because it's the day all the competitive colleges (Ivies cough cough) get back to you about their admissions decisions.

I put off checking mine because I'm a wuss who can't face rejection. Especially from my first choice, USC.

So, after I got home from prom dress shopping today, I checked the mail. I noticed I received a small envelop from USC and that was scary. Everyone knows that admissions come in large, hefty envelopes that include the college brochure, acceptance letter, and housing options, etc. 

I was dreading the opening of that letter but I did it anyway. And yeah. I was rejected. It was miserable. Like...really miserable.

To top it off, I also got rejected from Brown and Columbia. Fantastic.

But, there is a bright side to this post. To all of you who are reading this, I got accepted into the University of Pennsylvania today! I'm pretty sure I'm going crazy right now. Like, nuts. In addition, they're offering me a financial aid package of $52,880 a year. It's freakin ridiculous. I don't even know what to do with myself.

I'll get over USC in time.
