You Know You’ve Applied to Too Many MFA Programs….

  • When any unfamiliar area code on your phone gives you a heart attack.
  • When no matter what letter you type in your browser, the first six sites that pop up are “How to Apply” pages for various schools.
  • You have dreams that you were accepted or rejected, even to programs that you didn’t apply to
  • Your partner suggests you start watching The Big Lebowski every day to help you relax
  • You practice the conversation you might have with Samantha Chang when she calls to tell you you were accepted to Iowa.
  • All your facebook sidebar ads are full of shit like “Become a Novelist! It’s easy!”
  • You can tell someone the admissions statistics for any school you’ve applied to without have to double-check the data.
  • You hate these last weeks of January and wonder if you can put yourself into a coma until mid-February.
