Got rejected by a dream college But feeling happy!

amusingPineapple1311 October 14th, 2022

Hi, Just got rejected from a college which I was daydreaming for a long time.

I should be sad and I was. But I also am looking at the positives and After calling a good friend and after goofing around with him, I kinda realised It's not the end of the world and yea! There are not a lot of positives to focus on but damn it ! I love this world and everything about it! I would be happy even if I became a farmer! (I'd honestly love that)

and I am just happy that I was given the opportunity to even apply in the college! even tho I didn't made it.

(I felt like sharing with you guys!) ( If you are sad or stuck, Don't lose hope. It's 1000% gonna be okay! )

Hello, thank you for sharing your feelings with us <3

I understand that getting rejected from your dream college wasn't easy, but I completely agree with you! It is not the end of the world and course not the end for you!! Much more opportunities are awaiting and I am sure you will make the most of all those opportunities.

This is one precious life we have and living joyfully every moment no matter what happens can make your life a beautiful journey :) I loved your positive attitude and am sure you will do your best in life! Thank you so much for being so kind and compassionate to yourself <3

@dtanushree Thank you for responding with such kind words! I really agree with what you said about life. That sentence will stay with me for a while. It sometimes sounds childish and pretentious to think of life as this precious gift we have, but I might well be childish and pretentious :p.

Aw hahaha. Yess a child sees the world with eyes which doesn't judge, compare, assume and pretend. Perhaps that is the reason a child enjoys every moment of the life like its a new opportunity. 😊❤️

Here's one more quote for you:

"Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps the singing bird will come."

I aspire to have your positivity even in the face of rejection! I remember during my rejections I took it pretty badly with quite a depression lasting for weeks. However, reframing your perspective like you said has brought me to accept it! Thanks for sharing :)

@sunnyWriting4806 Hii! Thank you sm for sharing back! Your feelings were valid and it was perfectly okay for you to be sad over something that mattered for you.

I feel sadness can make us grow in ways that happiness just cannot do. But ya gotta admit, always keeping a smile ready has it's own benefits! Ahahahhaha

tip: call your friends!

@Jaeteuk Thank you for asking!. I am going to study Physics in a local Uni, and will try to aim for some scholarship so I can study Graduate level without giving a lot of financial burden to my family!
