Students who aren't admitted anywhere

Thank you all for your kind words. It’s honestly no problem for me to share my journey anymore. This business/career field is so up-in-the-air, it’s terribly easy to be misguided and get caught up in it all when there’s no 100% right way to achieve or do almost anything. ESPECIALLY with college auditions, every little thing can seem like the end of your future. But, part of what I’m coming to terms with now is that not all of us were dealt the same cards. Like I previously said, life sucks more for some people than others. But, it’s up to us to make something out of a mess.

I’m not a Broadway Baby. I don’t have parents that can ship me off to $11,000 acting camps every summer. I’m not from NYC or LA with professional training and opportunities out the wazoo. I’m not going to UMich or Carnegie or any other school that almost guarantees a career. I never will be or have those things. But, there’s no way in h*ll I’m going to be weeded out that easily. This is just the beginning. And, hopefully future college auditionees or current seniors that are starting to recieve acceptances/rejections can read the things I post and get something out of it. Even if I never make it to Broadway, Hollywood, or the GRAMMYs, you can’t say I didn’t try because the thought of giving up kills me more than the thought of not going to NYU.

@connections- Yes, we do have Study Abroad. But, the scholarships are sparse. I would have to spend my scholarship stipend to go anywhere and that’s money I need to save for emergencies/big expenses (such as car issues and medical procedures), career expenses (headshots, dance shoes, vocal lessons, etc.) and eventually moving to NYC–especially since I can only work part-time during the school year.
