Yeah it's so wild to me how the chaos demons consistently flock to these groups every year lol

Fanfics and whiskey, baby 🤠 edit: and working on creative projects that I usually find myself putting to the side in favor of the more commercial or literary ones on my roster. Giving myself a permission slip to just make stuff for the sake of making stuff

Honestly I think it's pretty rare/lucky for the first school you hear back from to be a funded acceptance. It would obviously take a lot of the stress out of the coming months but I think statistically it probably doesn't happen like that for most people. Definitely doesn't mean you won't get one though! Don't get worried yet!

Jinxed myself lol. Just checked my Ohio State portal -- first rejection of the season for me 🙃 hope you all get better news today

YOU'RE RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT

LETS GOOOO congrats!!!

Lol just checked the OSU portal and saw that I'm missing a recommendation 🤪🙃 not sure how I missed that one. Welp. edit: Another OSU waitlist notif on draft, this one for poetry!

omg😭

So quiet!!! Where is Ohio Thee State!!!

Literally could not agree more. Thinking of one of my former professors in my screenwriting mfa who was a super famous Oscar winning writer whose work I LOVED....and also one of the worst teachers I've ever had lol. And my absolute favorite professor ever whose biggest credit was a co-write on a hallmark movie, who taught me pretty much everything I know

From what I can see for fully funded programs that are still open: University of Wyoming (Jan 20), Virginia Tech (Jan 21), San Diego State (Feb 1), Georgia College & State U (Feb 1), North Carolina State (Feb 1), Southern Illinois (Feb 1), Western Kentucky (Feb 1), Wichita State (Feb 1)

Just had a cute lil manic episode and impulse-applied to three more programs (Notre Dame, Boise State, and Northern Michigan). Please send thoughts and prayers to my poor recommenders.

Big week ahead, y'all! I can sense it!

Do you have a top choice? It's corny but I'm making little collagey vision boards of what life would look like at my top picks (spots I'll want to check out in my new city/town, the landscape, how I'll decorate my new apartment, etc). Maybe something like that would be fun for you. I'm also telling myself it's a manifestation technique lol

I didn't apply to Montana so can't speak to them specifically but I definitely had a few like this and I agree it's a little stressful! Like pls just give me a big red button that says SUBMIT so I can turn my OCD off. That said, I empathize but I'm sure you're fine!
