<p>To weep, or not to weep: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The letters and emails of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of adcoms,
And by opposing end them? To be rejected: to not get in;
No more; and by a rejection to say we end
The stress and the thousand natural shocks
That applicants are heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To be rejected, to not get in;
To reject: perchance to weep: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that rejection from Stanford what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this long wait,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long a wait;
For who would bear the mocking and laughter of classmates,
The oppressor’s wrong, the parents harsh words,
The pangs of despised love, the email’s delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That applicant merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his rejection make
With a thin envelope? Who would bear
To grunt and sweat under a weary page,
But that the dread of something after rejection,
The undiscover’d country from whose bourn
No senior returns, puzzles the mind
And makes us rather bear those waitlists we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make rejects of us all;
And thus the native cheer of acceptance
Is sicklied o’er with the pale doom of rejection,
And enterprises of great sorrow and grief
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair campus! Professor, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember’d.</p>
<p>um…I don’t know what to say.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry so much if I were you QQ. You got into Duke right? I don’t have anything yet.</p>
<p>if that is original, then it is very very good.
If it were up to me, you’re in.
:-)</p>
<p>wow, in the stress of college decisions you managed to write that? I’m impressed.</p>
<p>that’s from…hamlet.</p>
<p>but it was good though haha. good luck.</p>
<p>That’s weird cuz I just wrote an emulation of that soliloquy today.</p>
<p>“The letters and emails of outrageous fortune” - I love it!</p>
<p>quizquick: u have absolutely no life.</p>
<p>^ so what? :)</p>
<p>it’s okay Goldie, we still love you :)</p>
<p>Thanks Judy. 
Well, I guess I wont be going to Stanford next year, but oh well.</p>
<p>wait quickquick ur “goldfish” under an another name?</p>
<p>yes…you didn’t know?</p>
<p>It seems like Stanford and those Ivy League schools are the centre of universe. There is still a lot of other amazing things going on in this world. Look far. Think about what life is for. Accept the defeat and go on. I was really frustrated when I saw the Stanford rejection letter, but I just thought how inconsequential this act of rejection is when compared to the horrible climate change, global warming, the fate of our planet, and the whole universe. We do what a human being can do, taking risks and living our lives to the fullest. After all, we should live a life without regret and frustration. Everyone, be merry. Life is very simple.</p>
<p>haha… nice. i like it.</p>
