Everything works out, so they say...
I've realized that I tend to surround myself with people that are extremely smart. In high school the majority of my friends were in advanced and honors classes and a large number of them are attending prestigious Universities or Colleges. Here at Rutgers, the majority of my closest friends have maintained enviously high GPAs and have credentials that are getting them accepted at some of the nations most well-respected institutions - i.e. Harvard, MIT, Cambridge, UCLA, Boston University, etc... So in the midst of realizing that my friends are all smart, I've also come to the conclusion that I'm just not as smart as they are. True that I'm not the dullest crayon in the box, but sometimes I feel like I'm hoping that the more I hang out with these intellectuals the better my chances are at absorbing some of their knowledge into my own mediocre mind. I mean my number one choice for the graduate programs I applied to was Tufts University and it was also my first rejection. Plus, not only did they think it fair to give me one electronic and one paper form of the rejection letter, but that if I didn't figure it out from the first two then two additional copies of the SAME EXACT rejection letter needed to be sent to me. Thanks Tufts.
*sigh* I just hope that I get into ONE graduate program, especially for the sake of my already dwindling self-esteem.
The closer I get to graduation, the more worried I get. The future, at this point, is so ambiguous and up in the air - I hate it. I'm unsure of whether I will get accepted to one of the 4 remaining graduate programs I've applied to, or whether or not I will get called for interviews by the companies and places that I've applied to for jobs. I'm unsure of where Jeremy and I will be next year and whether or not we'll be taking the next step and try living together or if we'll have to face trying out a long-distance relationship. Both would be completely new experiences for both of us.
Well, like the title of my post states, "everything works out, so they say"... I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait and see where everything takes me.
Where are all of you going to be next year? Let me know, leave some comments, they're always fun to read.
