An author received a bad review by a critic in the local newspaper. The author wrote the following letter to that critic:
"Dear Sir / Madam,
I am sitting in the smallest room in my house with your review in front of me.
Very soon, it will be behind me."

Happy thoughts, people. Happy thoughts.

looks like one of the schools I applied to will rescind my acceptance because I can't find an advisor. are there any rules against that? or are schools allowed to resind acceptances whenever they want to?

I looked up that stats out of curiousity. The top 5 programs in terms of placement of graduates in academia include Auburn University, UC Santa Barbara, and UConn. (also UVA and Brown)

Even though I have been relatively successful in my admissions, I am still depressed. I know that I will be moving to an as of now unknown new city where I have no friends, no family, and will be immersed in a totally new experience. All of the excitement and tension of cramming one more item on my CV is over and I am coasting through classes during my last semester. I am apprehensive and bored at the same time. I have been sleeping a lot lately, my appetite is somewhere near zero, and I am suffering from a terrible sense of ennui. I am literally depressed over this change of life that is happening. My only consolation is that I know that things will eventually pick up. Right now is just awful, though, especially since I am waiting with bated breath from my dream school.
