I get decisions from pretty much all the colleges I applied to today. I have butterflies in my stomach :(

Any tips on how to relieve this short-term anxiety? Sleep won't work since I still have two tests to study for ...

play some video games, do something to take your mind off. Maybe something that requires concentration?

It's 3:22 am where I am. Go to sleep. If the subject is math oriented, sleep will help more then studying if you know the basic subject matter.

It's 12:24 am where I am. The test is English (objective and an essay). I just can't bring myself to concentrate. I even went out for a walk for 45 minutes.

Play some games, it'll ease your nerves and burn some time.

This is good advice ... even lying in bed resting will help you out more then trying to study more right now.

Oh yeah, where's SheiK? He was the one who started that thread!

I applied to Brown, Penn, and Columbia. I'm not really expecting much from those, only that I applied to Berkeley and UCLA and those are out tomorrow, too...
