The Waiting Game: A Fine Art
Waiting for a university decision is an art form. Some people are zen masters at it, sipping tea and meditating while they patiently await their fate. Others are more like anxious squirrels, hoarding acorns (or in this case, rejection letters) in preparation for the worst. If you fall into the latter category, don't worry, you're in good company.

Checking Your Email: A Dangerous Obsession
It's tempting to refresh your inbox every 5 seconds, hoping for that magical acceptance email. But trust me, this is a slippery slope. You could end up with carpal tunnel or a nervous breakdown. So, set some ground rules. Maybe check your email twice a day, or only on weekdays. And for the love of all things holy, avoid checking it right before bed. You don't want to be jolted awake at 3 AM by a rejection email.
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
The Myth of the "Early Bird Gets the Worm"
You might be tempted to think that applying early will guarantee you a spot. While it certainly doesn't hurt, remember that admissions decisions are based on a variety of factors, and sometimes, the best applicants apply later. So, don't stress if you missed the early deadline.
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
