As we hurtle towards Pi Day… by Mikey Yang '05
A post of posts.
Things are getting fast and furious as we head towards Thursday, but I thought I’d take a tiny break to post a little something. I’ve already had a lot of “bleary eyed” moments in the last few weeks (my eyes are actually pretty sore as I type this), which reminded me of the post I wrote a couple years ago (see below).
As someone commented on Lydia’s recent post, around this time of year there are usually a bunch of “pre-pi-day” posts with various thoughts, comments, and advice before the decisions go out. Lydia’s is one such post that is worth a read. I’ve collected a few others from over the years that I think are worth perusing, too (though it is by no means an exhaustive list):
Me, March 16, 2011: Bleary-eyed
David duKor-Jackson, March 13, 2012: To whom much is given…
Lydia K. ’14, March 8, 2012: As We Approach Decision Day
Anna H. ’14, March 10, 2011: I Challenge You
Chris M. ’12, March 13, 2010: Decisions, Decisions…
I will admit this may not qualify as a “real” post as it is essentially a post of other posts, but I hope it provides some good perspective and interesting reading for those of you waiting for Pi Day. As mentioned in the posts above: don’t panic, dream big, explore the internet, don’t obsess, solve some puzzles, look at cute cats, thank people, and go relax and have some fun while you wait!

[Disclaimer: if you have questions, probably best not to ask them here, as I probably won’t be able to respond to much of anything in the next 42 hours or so as we wrap everything up with decisions; apologies in advance!]
Okay, it’s 11pm and I haven’t eaten dinner yet. Time to go get some food…
