| I think I understand where you're coming from. You clearly went the extra not just mile - 50 miles! - made sacrifices, gave up things feeling like you were making an investment with a high chance of getting just the return you wanted. I'm thinking of that scene in "Legally Blonde" where Reese Witherspoon hears the cute boys outside getting the keg party going and she's got to stay in and study.
So your disappointment is justified and vent away. Here's the part you can't possibly know yet because you're so young. Often, when we dont get exactly what we wanted, we get something else equally or more wonderful. Like every disappointment has its role to play. You have no idea what's waiting for you at the school you eventually attend. You may go there and meet the love of your life, or the friend of a lifetime. You may have a professor who changes your life.
I am willing to bet right now that sometime in the next four years, you'll find yourself thinking, Wow, thank G-d I didn't get into X and came here instead. |
