<p>I've been accepted to all my safeties + UCLA...
Rejected by Northwestern and Barnard...</p>
<p>I just feel really jaded by the whole experience. Anyone else?
But I believe in fate too. I think.</p>
<p>I'm in the same boat as you...<em>hug</em> I have 0 more schools left to hear from. I hope you get better news :</p>
<p>Fate is basically the only thing that is keeping me happy right now. For me I'm always trying to look at the positive side of things, even if it's the biggest disappointment. I need college therapy or something, seriously.</p>
<p>you got into UCLA and you're jaded? hmm</p>
<p>yes. i feel really empty and disappointed. i was really excited about college, and now i don't even know why i applied to the colleges i applied to... everyone i know seems to be psyched about where they were accepted, but i'm just confused and overwhelmed.</p>
<p>i got accepted to my safeties, which i picked because i knew they'd take me, not because i particularly liked them. i don't know. i'm really sad now. i just feel... crappy. and dumb. even if i had gotten into my reach schools, i can't picture myself in those, either.</p>
<p>and how nice was that barnard letter? could they have been any colder? damn.</p>
<p>thanks for the hug :) i think im just overwhelmed with bad news / playing the waiting game.
last week i heard " we love yous!" from 6 schools in like 2 weeks. and now im kinda like okay, i stink at life!
im jaded by ucla becuz i cannot believe i got in. it wont hit me til i go back there in like a week.
either way, im excited to be a part of UCLA 2010 <3 :) i cried becuz i was so happy for ucla. i cried out of sadness for northwestern :/</p>
<p>ps: barnard. ugh lol.</p>
<p>and in addition to feeling jaded, i hate everyone who got into good schools. i'm so not happy for anyone, haha.</p>
<p>I'm rejected by Northwestern too. But UCLA rocks, I'm sure you'll love it and never look back.</p>
<p>"everyone i know seems to be psyched about where they were accepted, but i'm just confused and overwhelmed."</p>
<p>that is exactly how i feel. all these years of high school i've dreamed of college, but now that it's actually going to happen i feel almost like taking a year off. i never really got that feeling people talk about, when you just feel that a certain college is home for you, or whatever. i don't believe in fate or "everything happens for a reason" at all, and i just feel like i've lost my direction. all these years spent working so hard, fighting for every straight A, and now it all seems so senseless. For me, this is actually the hardest part of the whole process so far.</p>
<p>i could've written that myself goaming.</p>
