Some advice from parents would be great

Hi again, just wanted to say thanks for all of the advice and let you know what ended up happening.

I found a job working at a distribution center for a large corporation for the summer–nothing too glamorous, but it pays the bills for my next year of college and I am grateful that I was able to find that. While I am certainly ready for the summer to be over, I am a lot less anxious and worried than I was previously and I must admit it feels good to have some time to sit back and contemplate things.

I probably went a bit overboard with the whole “all my options are gone” stuff, but I was feeling rather depressed and hopeless in light of the ambitions that I have for my future. I have always pushed myself, hard, but have never dealt with failure on this level before, and I think that may have been a tough reality. That being said, I am committed to getting myself back on track this year.

Thank you all again for the help, it really was much appreciated and was valuable in getting me through a rather difficult and irregular time in my life.
