Yeah, I am stress shopping, too. I like to tell myself that I am buying clothes because it is necessary--I'm going into a new phase of life with grad school, etc. Complete justification. 

I agree it's completely justified! Im waiting to do this...I wait to see whether my wardrobe will be fit for California or other colder climates. :)

Love this thread. So I am not the only crazy one here...I eat lots of stuff. Where to begin? Chocolate, I cook Chinese food, and I promise I will go to the gym but end up lurking on gradcafe.

When I'm intoxicated I buy office supplies. I ain't even mad. I love my Pilot G-2 pens. 

Pilot G-2 pens and Dixon Ticonderoga #2 HB pencils are the best. I'm left-handed, so Pilot G-2 pen's ink dries fast enough that it doesn't (always) smudge my hand. :) I wish I could splurge on new things, but I'm trying to reign in spending (to afford moving across the country + apartment deposits) and I don't want to pay to haul new stuff halfway across the country. I'm going through the process of downsizing (cleaned my kitchen and sorted out rarely-used appliances and knick knacks to sell). At least the money will go toward school supplies in the future!

I'm boring. My favorite is good old Paper Mate Sharpwriters. 

Mmm. Bliss.

I'm trying to lose weight, so I'm watching what I eat.  But when I do stress-eat, it's typically pasta with homemade sauce with a healthy side of wine.

I'm more on the wine with a healthy side of pasta end of things these days... But I feel you on that.

Our McDonald's just got Shamrock Shakes back so I'm about to stress eat (& drink?) the hell out of some deliciously terrible fast food.

I just want cake and an oreo milkshake....it's a good thing I lift weights every day, because the cake is definitely happening tonight. This whole waiting thing is going by faster this year, but I just want to find out about the rest of the decisions so I can feel justified in accepting my offer haha.

Curse you! You made me pull out the mint m&ms and start chowing down.

Mint M&Ms.....my mind has just been blown! This is a thing that exists?!

Also, @WendyWonderland I totally misread that as you putting chocolate into your Chinese food, and became scared and confused.

Lol, no, that's not how we cook in China. However, we have coca cola chicken and beer duck in China, both taste fabulous! Where did u apply? I offer to make it for u guys if we end up in the same city/ school. I am currently not stress eating anymore. The anxiety has taken away my appetite.

@WendyWonderland beer duck sounds amazing! I'm in Los Angeles, applied to Penn State, Southern Illinois, University of Oregon, Indiana University Bloomington... Having a post-grad app party with lots of wine and chocolate sounds like it would be immensely helpful.

That's super cool! We can go get Chinese food together! Yes I have heard back from one school but I have to wait for funding Infos. I am also interested in women studies!

Anything (everything?) that Starbucks has. Their seasonal drinks (chestnut praline over the holidays, and molten chocolate for Valentine's Day) are incredibly dangerous.
