<p>So I got rejected from this thing I was applying for... that pretty much kills my hope for everything else. </p>
<p>It was this LOCAL research program for high schoolers, so I was like, if I can't even get into a local program, it's not like I can get into an Ivy... </p>
<p>It's not even a prestigious summer program or a paid research program T_T </p>
<p>So cheer me up, guys... </p>
<p>But interestingly though, there's was this local paid summer research program for high schoolers that was 3x less competitive. </p>
<p>Sorry if all this sounded like a rant...</p>
