...TO ANY COLLEGE THAT DOES NOT ACCEPT ME: YOU ARE THE ONE MISSING OUT!!!! (can I get a grammar check on that phrase lol)

Flashback two weeks ago, and my mindset was, "If I don't get into [insert college here] my life is going to end!" I know right, very damaging to my self esteem.
But this is what I honestly believed. In December, I thought that I would die if I didn't get into University of Michigan. And even though we have no way of knowing if this is factual information, I've come to believe this propably wouldn't have happened.
So far I have gotten, "Congratulations..." emails (I honestly couldn't tell you what the rest of that sentence says because why would I read beyond that) from all of the admission decisions that I have received so far. Though I am still wait to hear from one more good bet and two reach schools, I'm feeling pretty confident in my academic abilities. I know that even though my SAT scores are not at all where I would have wished for them to be, I am not going to make the same mistakes twice and plan on rocking my MCATs in the future (#characterdevelopment). But, in all honesty, I may never stop procrastinating.
On top of that I am graduating Summa Cum Laude from my high school, which puts my in the top 5% of my class (this is something I just realized as I was writing this and... OH MY GOD!!), considering my graduating class has about 450 people and there are about 20 who qualified to be Summas (...do the math).

Anyway... my point is I think I've done a pretty amazing job throughout high school. And my ability to be successful will only improve as I move into the future. And as I said before, any college that doesn't accept me, you will be sorry when I win some super prestigious award and you're not included in the biography of my life.
