  1. I've accepted an offer for a program that I am really excited about! I am, however, nervous that I will get rescinded. I got a 'D' in a class for my major last semester (out of laziness and interest, bad, I know) that wasn't reported because the grades were not out yet. I will still get my degree without any issues this spring. I'm freaking out and want to enjoy my senior spring!
