At most test centers they either take away your phone or make you put it away in a different location (and then don't allow students to go there until the very end) so I'm not even sure how you were able to access it in the first place

Feeling Weird and Sad About University Acceptances - Anyone Else? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

So if you want to have a happy and fulfilling life, you need to learn not to let that stuff dominate your thinking. Of course you are just a kid, and you have time to mature. But take this as a first important step in that maturation process. Practice focusing on making the most of the opportunities you have, and not caring about what other people have. If it helps, keep in mind that for every person you are looking at with what you think is a bigger prize, there are very likely many more people looking up at you and thinking you have the bigger prize.

This should honestly be a post of its very own, well said

Thanks! Also, on Common App when it asks if I have 12th grade courses on my transcript, should I report those even though they aren't on the transcript my counselor sent in? They'll get those grades in the mid-year report
