I've had this account for a while but I never really used it. Here is my first ever blog.
I am a student and until recently, I felt pretty confident about my capabilities within academia. I will be graduating with two degrees this June and I'm looking to start graduate school in the fall. That being said, I submitted about 12 applications for graduate schools this past December. The schools have been notifying all of the applicants of their decisions these past few weeks. I am sad to say that I have been rejected from more than half of the schools I applied to. All of the ones that mattered to me. Oh well. I'll leave you with this quote.
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt
