but please wake up
ashattack 😏
this had better be good, mani
me
mila? laur? you up?
green eyes 💖
do we have to change the chat name EVERY day that goes by without my letter?
me
yes.
where's your girl?
mama 👀👅
...
me
good, we're all here
green eyes 💖
is this about my letter? it's almost 6am, what could you possibly have to say about my letter?
me
it's not about your letter per se
but more about this twitter post i just saw
mama 👀👅
...?
ashattack 😏
couldn't this have waited?
me
no
so anyways
i was scrolling just now. and i came across a post from harvard (whom i followed shortly after lauren applied)
mama 👀👅
why are you up so early?
me
never mind that
the post said that acceptance rate was up 17% this year
green eyes 💖
woah woah woah
stop the motherfucking music
you are aware their average rate is 5.2%?
me
yes. that's why i HAD to tell you! it means you have a good shot of getting in!
green eyes 💖
mani, clearly you don't understand how ridiculous that sounds. their acceptance rates are low because that's the amount of students they're willing to bring in a year. there's no way it made such a drastic increase.
ashattack 😏
i just found the post. she's not relaying the info correctly.
it is up 17%, but it means that the 5.2% acceptance rate has increased by a percent of 17. so, like... 6 some % is the acceptance this year. they phrased it like that for click bate.
green eyes 💖
that makes more sense
me
oh...
well...
that's still an extra like 1%?
mama 👀👅
...
green eyes 💖
i appreciate the enthusiasm, mani, but i'm honestly starting to lose hope at this point.
mama 👀👅
:(
ashattack 😏
hey now, hold on a sec
me
laur :/
you can't lose hope. you're so close.
green eyes 💖
what if i'm not?
what if my letter comes and i've been denied? what then?
ashattack 😏
then harvard is fucking stupid and not worth your time anyway
you've still got a little time left. then you can email them, see what's up. but you will get your answer eventually.
mama 👀👅
just remember, baby. everything happens for a reason.
green eyes 💖
you're right.
you're all right.
i'm a dumbass, and you're right.
me
okay, no.
your feelings are valid. you are not a dumbass because you are upset that you don't know, and that you might not get in.
mama 👀👅
you are perfect. we did not intend to make you feel like you were overreacting, because you're not.
green eyes 💖
can we just... can we leave this gc alone until I know something for certain? maybe it would help if i stop focusing on it so much.
me
anything you need
mama 👀👅
^^
ashattack 😏
^
me
i'm sorry i woke all of you up... i am literally a bitch for that one
ashattack 😏

mama 👀👅
can we at least know why you were up at this hour?
me
no
...
okay fine
i wanted some chicken wings, okay? so i got up and made some.
green eyes 💖
lmao
mama 👀👅

me
i can't sleep hungry!
ashattack 😏

green eyes 💖
