I’m sorry to hear that and here are a few words of advice. 1) Be upset. Take some time to be upset. Everyone deserves to be upset for a little while. 2) Once the pain starts to go away, rethink the options you have in your hand. Which one excites you? Which do you think you would do best at? You might have an even better college experience at these places because you’ll be a big fish in a small pond. Not a bad thing! 3) Commit to one and don’t look back! Never have regrets. Instead, be the best you can be and understand that ultimately, the college experience is what you make of it and that you will be fantastic anywhere you go.
I completely understand that it seems like it won’t work out right now but everything will. In 10 years… maybe even 5… maybe even 1 year, you will look back and laugh because you can find great opportunities at any college. The numbers, rankings, and statistics you see of colleges are all fake, so don’t worry. I know it hurts now but it won’t be like that forever.
Check out the book “Where you are is not who you’ll be” because it will help you understand some of the college mania. But please take some time to wallow! We all need that!
Again, so sorry to hear about it all but it WILL BE OKAY in the end.
Attached is one of my favorite articles to read when my own kids are feeling down about something. Don’t stress!!
