Scholarship Rejections, Rejections in General

<p>K i am making this thread for us to vent, cuz i need to vent.</p>

<p>i am soooooooooooo bummed out right now :(</p>

<p>i applied to several scholarships but i heard back from a big one today. it was one for $3000 and i really wanted it. i ran to my house to open the sucker and i cut my finger with the letter opener cuz i was so nervous. I KNEW i was going to be REJECTED. </p>

<p>k so my finger is bleeding and i read the letter, the letter says that they had a panel of 15 people that voted me out because i am such a loser.</p>

<p>i really needed the money :( DAMMIT</p>

<p>sell your organs on the black market!</p>

<p>the letter says that they had a panel of 15 people that voted me out because i am such a loser.</p>

<p>Is that really what it said?</p>

<p>girlyshout-im thinking about selling yours.</p>

<p>k i am not one of those girls who posts in her Facebook every 5 minutes to let everyone on earth know how s h i t t y her life is going.
in real life i am a strong girl, i am independent and dont let people know how i feel.
i have two people i can talk to about this money thing and i dont want to worry them.</p>

<p>So on here i am anonymous, i feel free to sound self-piteous and try to garner some pity from fellow students on College Confidential.
i just wanted to vent.</p>

<p>goddamnit im still bitter about that scholarship :(</p>

<p>Quentin13- no that was just a paraphrase</p>

<p>Yeah, a particularly pessimistic paraphrase.</p>

<p>yeah well when you get rejected you feel like a loser, and then you start thinking “maybe i will get rejected from all the other scholarships i applied to.”</p>

<p>If I did apply to any I would have probably gotten rejected from all of them. You don’t miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.</p>

<p>Be strong my friend. Be strong. We will get through this.</p>

<p>@ jane: We’re here for ya! I’m sure you’ll land one of those 13 scholarships somewhere! </p>

<p>@ laker: lmao you have some serious ■■■■■■■■ will power.</p>

<p>Mah pity. You haz it.</p>

<p>sorry to hear, have you tried other scholarships? Fastweb.com offers hundreds and I think even thousands, and a lot of them involve writing persuasive essays.</p>

<p>Btw, I wouldn’t be so hopeless after not winning the $3,000 one–after all it’s $3,000 right? It must have been VERY competitive. You didn’t win this huge one, but that doesn’t mean you can’t win prizes (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.) in other essay contests. Don’t be devastated so soon janey</p>

<p>thanx boys, especially Oliver_Twist.</p>

<p>im okay now, after some self-pity and Ray LaMontagne </p>

:slight_smile: <3</p>

<p>I really hate these non-passive scholarships. I’m suppose to write extra essays, fill out additional forms, and set aside time and energy for an interview all for a slim CHANCE at making money?! This has to be violating some kind of labor law.</p>
