Cora Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 So I finally applied to graduate school. It is something I have been wanting to do for a while now but I kept putting it off or it was either not the right time. However, I have realized if I continue putting it off it will never be the right time. Now I just hope I get accepted because this could be a new beginning for me. I have just felt like my life has been going nowhere and I'm tired of feeling so worthless. Being unemployed for a while now has really taken it's toll on me. The days just run together into one big nothing. I just feel like if I can get into this school I'd at least have something to look forward to you know? Not only will this better myself but I will be able to drown myself in my studies and hopefully forget for a while at least about my problems. It would definitely keep me busy and hopefully help me to obtain a good job. I could finally get out of this funk of feeling miserable and useless and I think it could do wonders for my self esteem. So I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I can get this one little lucky break. Now the waiting begins... Link to post Share on other sites
kizik Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I am sure you will get in. Don't sweat it. Why wouldn't they want you? And if they don't - their loss! You've done all you can do, it's outta your hands. In the words of Tom Petty: "Most things I worry about / Never happen anyway." Link to post Share on other sites
Author Cora Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Thank you Kizik. I'm trying not to think and worry about it too much. I'm not going to get my hopes up but I am keeping my fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites

Hi aloneanddepressed! Yeah, I think you have to have a certain amount of posts to be an established member and therefor able to send private messages. Hmm...and I don't think we can post our contact info on here. I would love to talk to you though. It always helps to have someone to talk to whom you have things in common with. Just keep posting until you become an established member. Thanks for replying! Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I hope you get in, Cora! By the way, I was once taught this little trick of applying to several grad schools -- the top few that I really wanted and a few that wouldn't be too bad to go to if noone else wanted me. Or is this something that only us 'kiasu' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiasu) Asians do? Link to post Share on other sites
Author Cora Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thank you Elswyth! I do have some backups lined up in case this one doesn't work out. This college would just be perfect though since it is close to where I live and they have a great counseling program which is what I'm going for. Link to post Share on other sites
