Weird feeling
我目前正在经历一种奇怪的感觉,我敢肯定这个论坛上有很多人。过去一年半的工作真的很努力IBoffer (non target kid just tried my best to get better throughout it all). Finally got an offer, had a surreal feeling when I heard how much I was going to be paid and realized I'd make more in one summer than I've made in my entire life. I'm very grateful but was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and when it kinda wore off? Still in awe about 48 hours later.

恭喜!
It wears off pretty quickly as you have to focus on other things, but there is a small part of relief that sticks even once the excitement has worn off. Particularly when you go back senior year and classmates are still struggling through job searches while you can relax and truly enjoy college.
享受并欣赏夏天,您应得的。只是不要让您的身份过于包裹IB,因为它一定会磨损几个月FT
Same boat as you, got my dream offer for 2023 and now its hard to feel super motivated to study for finals and care about my classes, especially the bs ones. My recommendation would be to celebrate and enjoy the moment, but once your done with that use the extra time you have to invest in your college experience, whether it be grades, clubs, friends, etc. You never know if you'll need to draw on your college connections and achievements later down the road in a future job interview. The first thing I wanted to do after I got my offer was to go to a remote island and not have a single thought about finance for the next two weeks but having to real myself back in so I don't do bad on finals.
恭喜你!我在同一条船上。像您一年多的2023年一样磨碎SAoffer last month. Worked my ass off and when the offer came, i didn't know what to feel.
我意识到的一件事是,生活还在继续。For whatever reason I thought that once I got my offer, my life would be infinitely better (not the case lol, It's pretty much the same).
我认为这会感觉好些(不要误会我的意思,有报价感觉很棒)……但是我认为这会给我带来很多喜悦。相反,我没有失败,而不是那么多的喜悦,这只是一种缓解的感觉。
Congrats on the offer! Could you please suggest the materials you used to prepare for technicals to get an offer? There are plenty of information out there of course on the subject but still wouldn't hurt to ask it again. Thanks!

Happiness from external events is临时。内在的幸福是永久的。
You're on the 1st one. Focus on the 2nd one.
不知道为什么这个女士,这是一个非常有效的point (although use of the word permanent wouldn't be my first choice). People have a happiness setpoint and rarely veer from it in the long term from external events. Studies show that after major life events, like marriage, graduating, getting a big job, etc. there is a temporary boost to happiness, but eventually you come back to your setpoint. Most of this is due to the nature of our adaptive mind, we are very good at getting used to our surroundings (as an evolutionary benefit it comes in handy when you are forced to move/camp/whatever in a new area) so anything that happens to us quickly becomes our new normal and we fall back to our internal modes of behavior. This is most commonly exhibited as "lifestyle creep", aka the hedonic treadmill: you achieve a certain standard of living, become used to it, get bored, spend more money adding to your lifestyle, rinse and repeat.
There are ways of increasing your internal setpoint, often through behavioral and meditative techniques (reducing your stress, improving self-awareness, eating healthy, exercising, etc.) but external factors rarely lead to sustained happiness unless it also initiates a more internal process, too.
Didn't elaborate it too much. I got the idea from an open course at Harvard held by Tal Ben-Shahar, "Positive Psychology".
在课程中,他介绍了一项研究,其中的人们获得了梦想的工作,买了一个new house, got accepted in their dream college, etc., after around 3 months their state of happiness returned to normal (prior to the event). The idea was that your internal state of happiness can be only maximized when you take risks, when you try new things and when you do things which scare you. Among others, the anticipation of a reward brings us a lot more dopamine than the reward per se. So isn't rocket science OP's feeling.
The MS may be from a 16 years old hardo. No hard feelings to him, all my best.
Ugh. I can smell the patchouli from here.
幸福是非常暂时的,但是当您意识到没有人在乎时,更糟的是。在持续的过程中享受它,因为一旦开始,您就会意识到自己的野心只会导致您遇到不同的问题(尽管更好)。

你好WalnutBrain,
我处在同样的情况下,但后来我想出了一个想法,这不仅改变了我的心情,而且改变了我的生活。那时我已经决定不依靠我的薪水,所以我开始了一家忙碌(电子商务商店),事实证明这是我做过的最好的决定。我建议您也做类似的事情。祝大家好运。
谷歌hedonic adaptation. To sum it up it's the theory that after an event that makes you super happy your normal baseline shifts and you just feel back to normal again after an x amount of time.
Try to focus more on long term happiness and accomplishing your long term goals now (or whatever you think is your purpose).
Also, I'm in a similar boat as you are with low GPA and fear of getting no offers. Your story is an inspiration man.
Congrats. Be sure to celebrate.
As someone who is startingFT在the summer, my advice is to act as a leader for the rest of your time in college by offering to help others achieve similar things.
This doesn't just apply to helping others land internships inIB。Help friends and colleagues with their resumes and prepare for interviews.
I did this a lot the past year and not only did it make me feel really good, but it made many of my friends respect me a lot more.
This is great advice! Thank you
