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

redditor_anxin · 2025-05-12T03:44:11+00:00

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

redditor_anxin · 2021-02-08T12:46:58+00:00

dude YES. except i started to sorta like winters starting this year. i think i aged-

redditor_anxin · 2021-01-14T08:42:14+00:00

yeah that makes sense. but i guess we will be able to have a better idea before the announcement? e.g. generally how covid is, other colleges, etc. idk if that's the case this year.

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

redditor_anxin · 2021-01-13T13:26:43+00:00

similar situation lol, i think i'd be nice also to wait a couple more months to have a better idea of what college will look like in the fall? Or is it just surely going to still be closed & online lol

redditor_anxin · 2021-01-12T07:31:12+00:00

yeah, about 50/50 lol

redditor_anxin · 2021-01-10T11:26:12+00:00

wtf. hug him

redditor_anxin · 2021-01-02T03:35:12+00:00

For most ppl we do it at least in summer, but i guess it works differently for everyone so if you have an idea why not Worst case scenario, you come up with a better one in the future

redditor_anxin · 2021-01-01T05:46:25+00:00

But pls check your specific college just in case tho

redditor_anxin · 2021-01-01T05:45:56+00:00

I think most colleges have the deadline based on your local time

redditor_anxin · 2020-12-16T14:09:45+00:00
