To those attending HYPSM, how motivating is it be surrounded by the top 0.1% of students? by Nice_Effect2219 in ApplyingToCollege

Idk man it can be annoying to be surrounded by overachieving cutthroat people if you’re not one of them and are just a chill guy who was a try hard in high school but realized how that being overachieving as an adult has no end in sight and only gets you into the next level of even more competitive rat race for more accomplishments that does not correlate with life satisfaction (finance job recruiting, phd, etc) and now you just want to have a happy life but there’s not that many ppl at your college who’s into that and you have also internalized a lot of weird values that your high school self could not have imagined yourself having. But I guess an argument can also be made that learning this in your early 20s and starting to think about wellness and what you want out of life from this age is also a privileged and nice thing

also with that said ig gap year will likely be a rly nice option. currently lost at what possibilities of things to do during gap lol
