On the morning of December 1st, I woke up at around 5AM to a noise made by my phone, I checked it (although knowing it wasn't an email) and it was some dumb text message from the MTA informing me of potential train delays >.>. I quickly checked my email anyways, and saw nothing from any school, esp. the one I was waiting on (NYUCD!
) although I kept getting emails from the ***The Official NYU Class of 2019 Interview/Acceptance Thread*** here on SDN, haha. I remember seeing NYU's name in the emails that came from that SDN thread that early in the morning with such little mental awareness, and I kept thinking it was from the ACTUAL college, kept giving myself mini panic attacks. Anyways, fast-forward to around 6AM, my parents barge in happily asking what happened, and I once again, with a calm facade, checked my email with my heart racing unbelievably fast--nothing yet. It was also reassuring that no one else in the NYU thread had received an acceptance up until that point. I checked again 20 mins later or so but nothing; I went back to sleep. I woke up to my dad asking me VERY politely lol to check my email, it was now around 8AM, I figured okay... *heart beating like a monster* and as I scrolled through a bunch of messages from my college's bursar, and shopping invites, coupons, mlb.com news, weather forecasts etc... my eyes finally fixated on an email with the subject, "Congratulations and Welcome to the NYUCD Community!" and with the sleepiest yet happiest face that I can muster, I loudly said, "IT HAPPENED!" My beloved father hugged me as hard as I can ever imagine and kept saying CONGRATS, that embrace is something I'm going to remember forever, my mother was actually downstairs making tea haha, she quickly ran up after hearing us celebrating and gave me a hug and began to tear... BECAUSE MOTHERS <3 haha. Oh, man... what a beautiful dream come true.
Congratulations to everyone who got in, and may we have many, many more successes coming our way in the years ahead!
