  3. My life is so not going in the direction it should be

  4. How do you deal with "I should have applied there"? I am more than happy with the program I decided to attend, but also can't stop thinking of couple programs I ended up not applying.

      Remember the reasons you didn't choose that school in the first place.

  5. That awkward moment when your friend gets off the waitlist, but you don't.

      It's just hard to be a good friend and be happy for her when I'm dealing with jealousy.

  6. Skyped with the prof who recruited me to apply for now at confrence (where I would be fully funded at an R1) which went well! Then rejected from the one school I offically interviewed at... You win some lose some...!

  7. Neighbors got a $100 noise fine! :D

  8. So humbled by the good news and good luck from today. Two acceptances!

  9. I have a stress fracture :(

  10. I have an interview April 7th. Part of me hopes it will only act to strengthen my conviction in the offer I already accepted.

      2 reasons. I was rejected at this school when I received my only acceptance, thus, I signed my life away. Weeks pass and school #1 apologizes and un-rejects me. I agreed to the interview because if admitted, I could live at home with my husband during grad school, vs living 9 hours away from him (school I already accepted) for the next 5 or 6 years.

  12. Officially accepted my offer, PhD here I come!

  13. Why is everyone in grad school either married or in relationships? Why do I have the displeasure of having to constantly meet them? Where are the fun people?!

      My situation is opposite. I'm the only married person wherever I go.

  14. I just heard my last decision - a denial to a MA program. No matter what or how they happen, or who they are from, those denials always hurt. I finally had to email the graduate adviser to find out. And it was a denial from a fairly low ranked big state school. The difference between schools and departments is palpable. I got a PhD acceptance from a well ranked school including TAship. If all you get are denials, I feel for you, that would feel horrible. Juuust keep going!

  15. That lonely feeling when people are posting acceptances and rejections while you still haven't heard anything. Is no news good news?

      I finally caved and asked the school I'm waitlisted at when I could expect to hear something. They basically said, "as soon as everyone who got an offer responds to US" and said it may drag out forever. So, don't give up just yet!

  16. I'm going to accept the offer from my first-choice school! I'm so excited to be going to grad school!

  17. Mere hours ago I clicked the button ('Accept') that seals my fate for the next five years. Penn State, here I come!

  18. I think I might be starting a relationship... but he is stationed in CA until next year :/ either way yay I get to finally be happy!!!

      @youngcharlie you do not ever have to apologize to having emotions. Heartbreak is very real. Keep staying strong. And go to Venice!!

  20. Midterms next week. Son getting married in 7 days. Presentation due April 7th (haven't had a chance to start on it). Weekly papers. Oh yeah... and drowning in thesis suggestions (even though I have 2 years left as a part-timer). I am getting a little stressed out here.

      Switch all your shampoo, conditioner, perfume and lotion products. New sheets on the bed, rearrange your furniture. Create a new environment with less triggers.
