Portrait of the Artist opened with a moo cow and ended with Dedalus becoming a Poet. Just like me? 😂

All these fictioneers getting accepted... Maybe, as poet, I should learn to string sentences together... 🤔 Nah

Just came out of a 75 min meditation to realize I'm gonna be fine if it's another cycle of straight rejections. Like, a-okay. Happily backpacking down a dirt road and chewing on wild onion greens in the sunshine a-okay. Whew!

Unanimous response to my rejections from the people who know me and my poems well: "Wow, that school fucked up bad." Forwarding their defensive love to everyone else riding the R train 💕 We can go streaking together 🐎

Well, if past reports from the Results page are any indicator, looks like NYU might send acceptances next week 🤞 Let's keep this band-aid rippin'

YEAH YA DID 🎉

*cough*

Alright Columbia and NYU, the monastery I'm looking at opens for reservations on March 15, so you have until then to accept me with full funding or else I pursue happiness and writing on my own—SO THERE 😤

Same boat. I'm assuming based on previous years that acceptances will go out in about a week, tho earlier is v welcome!

Whew, I feel this. Wishing you peace and confidence. I wish I'd started refuting those negative thoughts way earlier in my own life, but can report that with practice and support, they can be ignored.

Yup, R confirmed

UMass Amherst update: my portal status just changed to "Decided - Decision Pending". Looks like the axe is comin', y'all 🕊️

Amazing! Congrats!!

Wooo! Congrats!

Thank you so much for sharing, and absolute best of luck to you—and your friend. It's been hard learning how morally and ethically untethered universities have become, especially around what should have been a slam dunk "right side of history" humanitarian issue. If I'm honest, it gives me pause about Columbia specifically.
